JEFF PEARLMAN

The 11th coolest (people) ever.

The guy on the far left is named Tres Fromme. Back in college he was a pretty balsy guy—head of the gay student union on a campus where 99.9% weren’t especially open-minded about such things. I didn’t get his courage at the time, but now—looking back—I do.

So he and his co-workers at Mesa Design win Coolest People Ever. (admittedly, they don’t look so cool. But, hey, neither do I).
