Thomas Minter is a retired engineer from Boeing Air. Tom was interested in volunteering in the community near his home and wanted to do something with reading. “When I was in school, I was not the Eagle reader, I was probably the Slug reader. I had people who helped me out and I appreciated that. Reading is something you use your entire life. I wanted to help kids in whatever way I could, and I know that if you can read, you can learn.” Tom decided to support early literacy.
