Tom Dresser started his professional literary career while in fifth grade, publishing a monthly newspaper, the Springdale News, until he went off to college in 1965. In 2002, Tom began a career as a bus driver, wending his way over the winding, hilly West Tisbury school bus route. The kindergartener he picked up in 2002 he dropped off for high school graduation in 2015. For more than a decade, Tom drove tour buses around Martha's Vineyard. His self-published booklet, Tommy's Tour of the Vineyard, still stands as a premier tour guide for Martha's Vineyard. Tom also drove tour vans and limousines on the Island. Today, Tom devotes himself to enjoying time with nine grandchildren and savoring life with his wife of twenty years, Joyce Dresser. It's been a great run.
