I believe I will, nice to find a hazzard homecoming on the net, grew up on the DVDs, used to watch em with my dad. He's gone now, but the memories live on. I’m hoping someday to build a General Lee replica, I always told him I was gonna.

I never had a son but would have loved to watch Dukes with him if I would have had one. You were lucky to have him and he was lucky to have you. I admire and respect him for passing the Hazzard tradition down to you. He didn't name you after Tom Wopat did he? Hope I'm not getting too personal.

He used to take me to cruisin' 50's night in high school and when I was little we went to the Harrah's Auto Museum in Sparks, NV on vacation. That was a treat. Dad had dementia for his last years, but my brother and I managed to get him to the Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance and the Petersen Automotive Museum a few years ago. We had a blast, made some great memories, and took lots of photos.

Hope I'm not getting too personal. Hi Roger, I was very blessed to have him, and I hope I do him proud. He definitely passed the tradition on to me, and I hope someday I’m blessed enough to do the same, should I be blessed with fatherhood. You’re not too personal, don’t worry. Actually my name is Thomas, but I shorten it to Tom these days. When I signed up here and thought of a username, I figure Tom Duke has a nice ring to it. Never realized about the parallel with Tom Wopat, kinda cool as he’s my favourite of the Duke Boys.

My dad and I went to a few local car shows in our time too, he liked his cars but he really loved art. He was a painter, he did those paint by numbers kits, and managed to do 50 of em. He gave a lot of em away a few years ago, but the handful he kept are now proudly hanging on my walls.
