Tom's Story
Married a Arlington Heights girl class of 65 and had 3 kids. When we married in 68 I was teaching at Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg. I also did some coaching at Monmouth College. I left the college for industry and began a career in HR and Safety so I could make more money and spend time with the kids. We eventually ended up in Florida where a nasty divorce saw me moving across the state and going back to education taking 2 kids with me. 3 years later I remarried after finding a real "trophy wife" --Young, smart, Beautiful,and a great mother and wife. We ended up back in industry and after some years found ourselves in CT where she died a week after broken neck surgery. I ended up moving to McRae,GA and in 2007, 5 years later found a new wife in Augusta. She was a Communications Professor, author, and bladder cancer survivor. A real gem of a lady. The years have seen me in CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, NY, OK, TX, and WI working in Boxes, Educ, Meat, Metals, Poultry, Plywood, Tomatoes, and Sugar.

ral Prison and moved to Augusta where in 2020 I am still called to solve problems at the prison from time to time. Over the years I picked up a Ph.D. and professional designations in HR and Safety and after retirement I taught Occupational Safety part time at Augusta Technical College to keep busy in retirement. I retired again from teaching in 2016 to be home and take care of my wife who has developed a heart condition in addition to her COPD. My wife died Oct of 2020 after surgery. I loaded her in the car and took her to Missouri to be buried with her parents. One of the better moments considering I have been retired for 12 years was the Prison sending flowers. In 2021 I decided to move to FL and in Nov actually sold the house and bought in Sun City Center, FL. I am in the Kings Point Gated Community some 2 miles from the front gate. I recently found a nice lady in Sarasota who has moved in with me and is planning on making it a move for a lifetime. I was Exalted Ruler of the Augusta Elks Lodge and transferred my Elks Membership down here.
