Dan Tomlin $17,000 donation gets write up in Dallas Morning News
The Dallas Morning News did a nice write up this week on Dan Tomlin III’s $17,000 donation to the Dallas County Sheriff’s office to cover the department’s holiday meal.
“Sheriff Valdez, who already had raised $2,650 from local businesses, was faced with the decision to cancel just two days before the event or fork over $17,000 of her own money to keep her promise to her employees.
She decided to foot the tab herself.
Then, on Tuesday morning, local developer Dan Tomlin III of Tomlin Investments called the Sheriff’s Department to say he was writing a check for $17,000 to cover the shortfall. Others, including employees, chipped in some money.
“All of the county people are always overlooked. They do a lot of good for all of us,” said Mr. Tomlin, a longtime friend of the Dickey family. “We thought we’d give something back to the community.”
Sheriff Valdez said she was grateful for the corporate donation.
“This wonderful generosity is in the best tradition of the holiday season,” she said in a prepared statement. “These sponsors recognize the services that the Sheriff’s Department provides to the people of Dallas.””

Dan Jr and III’s news from Laguna Seca
“The Expert Series race-within-a-race for drivers aged 20 to 44 was won by Dan Tomlin III, driver of the #56 Team Tomlin Mazda, who also clinched the 2008 Expert Series championship with a record of three class wins and four class podiums.
The Master Series category, for drivers 45 and older, was won by Tomlin’s father, 64 year-old Dan Tomlin Jr., driver of the #58 Team Tomlin Mazda. He finished second in the Masters championship with a record of two class wins and seven class podiums.
“I never drove harder or better than I did today, motivated by my desire to share the podium for the first time with my son,” says the Dallas, Texas racer/businessman. “We have a uniquely close relationship in that we work together during the week and race together on weekends. Today’s race was a memorable achievement for me.”
