Having read that tribute to Tom, I guess I know the answer to the question, "Are Tom and Carl a couple?" *g* Having grown up in the 70s, I can understand why the fictional T&C would never twig to that, and why Nita and Kit might never suspect it, at least until they were old enough to get romantic themselves. (But you don't have to answer this publicly, or at all.)
