Thomas's Story
Life
Went to Wheaton Central not Wheaton North but it's late, I'm tired and can't figure out how to remove my name from the North roster which was automatically listed there when I went in to look at the names.
After graduation? Well let's see... I hung my blue tassle from my hat on the rearview mirror of my '65 LeMans convertible and then, me, Dave Wilhite, Scott Walker and Dave Rausch all drove over to the A&W on Roosevelt Rd. for root beer to celebrate. Whoopee. The next day, I quit my partime job at Bruss Nursery so I could start my full time job the next Monday at Ken & Fred's Arco in Lombard. There, I worked all summer pumping gas, doing oil changes, running customers home, etc. Are you still reading this nonsense? What does that say about your life? Go to bed!...Expand for more
