Comment:

I woke up today wondering why i never paid more attention in Tom's class. Feeling great teachers and people may be wasted on the 20 somethings. Happily some thing stuck and inspiring to learn now what Tom tried to teach me many years ago. Memorable interesting way smart guy. THANK YOU Professor Puchalsky.

Comment:

"You Must Experience Life, Goddamit!" he would chide us! He was more of a poet with his own life than he would like to admit. And a dreamer. And perhaps the greatest professor one could take. To miss having taken Pulchalsky for a course: is to sleep in the grave. Forget your grade. The lessons from this man were lifelong.

Comment:

Clearly, if Kafka had met Dostoyevsky, Kundera, and Kosinski for tea, Tom would have been the man they sought to represent them to the rest of the world. Simply speaking the man made us all aware of the important.

Nice guy, but a very strang man. He couldn't remember anyone's names, so in class he'd just make them up.. I was 'Mercedes' for the semester..I guess I had it better off than the girl he called 'Fifi'.

Really nice guy, very friendly and helpful. Also really funny lectures in class, but interesting and informative. Sometimes can get frustrating when he goes on rants about today's youth, but overall a really great professor- he makes you think about thi

I had Thomas in 1972. I remember him fondly - was challenging and made you think. I am currently a professor of Aviation in MD.
