Alumni Feature: Honoring Tom Smurzynski
This issue of The Crater Alumni Newsletter is pleased to present 1976 Crater graduate, Tom Smurzynski, who in his adult life has gone on to make a positive difference in the lives of many teenage boys. While at Crater, Tom was a busy young man with a full load of demanding courses, participation on the ski and track teams and part time work in a grocery store. He was such a valuable grocery clerk that, soon after graduation, he became a store manager for Wayne & Ron’s Shop Rite store. His love for cars and an entrepreneurial spirit led him to lease his first automotive shop at age eighteen. His interest in cars eventually led him to Brammo Motorsports where he served as their service manager, final inspector and test driver for the Brammo Ariel Atom, a road-legal high-performance sports car that was made in Ashland, Oregon.
