Thomas's Story
Life
I am still married and have 5 girls which expanded my family by producing 12 grandchildren of which 3 were girls. The family expanded quickly when a set of twins followed the first daughter. We had to R&R for a spell before continuing on with the final two. No, we were not trying for boys as I never was a "Sports Nut" but was more interested in Cars and Guns and Planes. I did not get a drivers licenese till I was in College because I worked at Kennywood 7 X 12 to earn money for school. W&J was an all "Mens" school right in the middle of town so a car was not a real necessity but Nice to Have anyway.
