Tom Lord, always dressed in his coat, beanie cap and two-toned glasses, can be found at the Good News at Noon shelter in Gainesville every day when lunch is served. Lord, 86, takes his place at the head of the main table in a mess hall where each seat, from one wall to the next, is filled. But it’s not just the beef, peas, potatoes and bread that draws the 86-year-old Navy veteran.
