[AGL] Tom Jones, Art Car artist

[Fontaine Maverick]

So sorry; didn't know him of course, but the people who turn cars into works
of art are very special people. Last year my sister took her young grandson
to the Art Car parade and to the museum, and it made a huge impression on
him. She had just as much fun - as have I when it is up here in Austin.
