Thomas Lathen:  

My wife and I are still living in central Iowa (just north of Ames), where we have been for the past dozen or so years. I own and operate a printing and promotional products franchise, PROforma Essential Business Solutions, and also own a mobile music service (I do weddings, corporate parties, class reunions, birthday parties, etc.) called First Class Entertainment Service. My wife helps me with the businesses and also works on an "as needed" basis as a teacher's aide at the local Middle School. We have three children. Our oldest, Alycia, recently completed her Master's Degree and is currently teaching in Papillion, Nebraska. Our second daughter, Krista, is in Human Resources with a large commercial engineering company in Kansas City. And our youngest, Michael, is autistic and still lives with us. He's a great kid and is always good for a laugh! In my spare time (if there is such a thing), I do P.A. work for our high school athletic teams as well as for Ellsworth College (this year I had the privilege of doing the P.A. announcing for a junior college bowl game in Cedar Falls, Iowa). ...Expand for more
