Thomas Moen:  

Life Thank you for stopping in to look this page over. You are as welcome as the sunshine. I loved attending school, and look back with fond memories. My mother died durning my senior year at NC, that changed my plans a lot. I had planned to always live in Spokane, but when mother passed, I revised my plans.
