Thomas "Thom" Eugene Foulks (August 27, 1935 – March 24, 2004) worked as a disk jockey, editor of military base newspapers, manager/news director of AFRTS (Air Force Radio Television) stations in Iceland and the Philippines, daily newspaper front-page editor, television videographer and news anchorman (local CBS - KKTV and NBC - KOAA affiliates), TV public affairs director, and a politician (Administrative Assistant, Board of County Commissioners for El Paso County in Colorado). In the latter capacity, he learned that mainframe programmers who worked for the county could actually make a program do what the user wanted, not just what they thought it should do. About the same time, he decided he could run the county better than his boss, and wound up as Commissioner Chairman (1975–79).
