Thought Leader THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT Written by Bunny Byrne and Nikki Igbo Photographed by Jay Bowman THOM. TO PRONOUNCE THIS word correctly is a verbal exercise that uses every muscle of the speech apparatus, sort of like an oratorical jumping jack. It feels like an affirmation when spoken. Each time we utter a name, we invoke all of the energy and meaning associated with it. (When citizens of Thomasville speak its name, they reiterate an essence, an outlook, a truth.) For us, Thom is an abbreviation of Thomas which is an awesome name in its own right. Sure, it technically means “twin” but those who have been given the name tend to have an uncommon way of touching the lives around them. Think Edison, Paine, Jefferson, Blanchard or Wolfe. These namesakes didn’t mind undertaking huge endeavors. They were visionaries who practiced truth, justice and discipline; who went on to become charismatic leaders; who valued rich history while pursuing a bright future. Thom, although seemingly truncated, means much more. As all nicknames do, it denotes a special recognition and familiarity. It means “I’ve gotten to know you and you have become dear to me. So much so, that I can’t forget you.” Thom is up close and personal. Thom is here among us. In lieu of a memorized, remote figure in a history book, Thom is a neighbor who is alive and well, a call away. Thom celebrates the many “Thoms” of Thomasville. While these community champions may not bear the name Thom, they all share a common characteristic. They shape the lives and experiences of this exceptional Georgian community through their creative ideas and movements. They are a reminder of all the original hopes and wishes for the town. One such notable goes by the name of Max Beverly. 2
