Thomas's Story
Life
I'm divorced since 2002. Back living in the house I grew up in. I am currently in a relationship with a wonderful lady who makes me laugh every day. We have been on 5 European river cruises on 4 different rivers.
My 2 sons have now blessed me with 5 grandchildren. I just wish they would stay in one place, so I could see them more. Matt, Mary, and the kids are in Cumming, GA (outside of Atlanta). Matt works for an engineering firm. Mary does volunteer work. They are now "empty nesters". Logan graduated from Valdosta State Univ. and was married in 2021. Jana is attending Georgia Tech. Kendal is attending Augusta State Univ,

one player. He spent a year in Afghanistan and a year in Iraq. He is now working for the Veterans Administration in Phoenix, AZ. His boys live in Flagstaff. Nikolai is attending the Univ. of Arizona and Alexei is in high school.
I retired in June 2007 after 35 years of teaching.
School
The Castle On The Hill... if you weren't in Band, I probably didn't know you.
Workplace
Taught for 13.5 years in Reading, ending up as the HS Band Director for 5.5 years. I left teaching to take a sales job, doing fund-raising with school groups. Did that for a year. If anyone wants to know what it feels like to go broke... just ask. Got back into teaching in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County.
