HOW/WHEN/WHY I BECAME A LION:


 Tom Normandie

When asked who his favorite Lion is he says PP Gary Robinson because he is nuts enough to fish with Tom.

Tom came to El Cajon in 1983 and went to work for (Mayor) Jim Snapp at his insurance agency.  Snapp encouraged Tom to join the Lions and Tom became our club Prez in 1989-90.  Tom attended La Jolla HS until he was kicked out in his Junior year then went to and graduated from Mission Bay HS.  As fate would have it Tom joined the Army and was in Special Ops during his enlistment.
