Tom Lichtenheld: Hi. My name is Tom Lichtenheld. My last name isn't as hard to pronounce as it looks. When you break it down, it's lick, like licking an ice cream cone, ten, like the number 10, and held, as if you held a baby. Lichtenheld. Not so hard. In German, my name means holder of light. Licht means light and held of course means to hold. This is why whenever my family goes camping and we have to walk through the woods at night, I'm the one in charge of holding the flashlight.
