Traditionally, you refer to a person by the highest title he/she has served in office. Thompson served as Senator; therefore, he is traditionally referred to in title as Senator until he achieves a higher post.

Thank-you....appreciate it

Not to quibble, but I believe that the title is the highest non-unique title; e.g., Mr. Clinton should be addressed as Governor Clinton, as that is the highest non-unique office he has held.
