Thomas's Story
Since School I've had ups and downs, done this and that, been in and out of relationships, got married at 26, divorced after 8 years. I remarried 2 years later and and the wonderful Cathleene and I have been married 19 years.
I have 2 kids from my 1st marriage and 2 kids from my current. The oldest is 25 (and married) and the youngest is 12.
If you know me then you know how much I love bicycles. My passion has never faded and friends and family are very supportive. It is truly theraputic and revitalizing for me and besides my family it is the one thing that keeps me grounded and glad for my short time on this blue grain of sand called earth.
My wife and I have been in the tile business for 25+ years and last year we bought an existing tile store from longtime friends. It's nice to be in charge of our own destiny instead if working for someone else.
I came here one day hoping to find some of my friends from back in the day: Mike Gibson, Robert Goto,Janice Gagnon, Terri Darby, Toby Taki, Rudy Lopez, Tom Stack etc. Rudy is well represented here and has been for awhile, but this year as luck would have it I was able to co...Expand for more
nnect with Mike and Toby. Not say that no one else was as important, but Mike and Toby were the guys I stuck with the longest after school and we had some great times. When I heard from Mike, then Toby I was all smiles.
I've also had very good luck finding friends on facebook, it's so weird to re connect with old friends and pIck up where it left off.
So I hope all of my fellow Lowell classmates are well and, above all, happy. I don't mean to be maudlin, but with more years behind me than ahead I can't imagine being in place where I didn't look forward to the new day. Sad to say, but in retrospect I feel I wasted my years in high school. Quite honestly, I barely remember any of it except in flash images of people and events and don't even ask me about the classes I was in, I couldnt tell you. It wasn't because of dope, I wasn't into that, I think I was just a weird, bummed out kid that just didn't get it. How sad. Maybe, for me, school wasnt the thing, maybe it just takes living life to finally get how incredible our world is (good and bad) and how lucky we are. What's the cliche? if I knew then what I know now.......
