Tom's Story
Life
well for most readers it should be known that i spent the first 2 years of high school in lansford pa and the last 2 in metuchen nj. followed by 4 years at rider college graduating with a degree in accounting. got married had 2 kids who are now grown and gone and they have 5 kids of their own. got divorced in 1995. as to the kids my daughter went off to college and excelled in everything except going to classes and studying. she was booted out after a year. my son on the other hand had a nine year career in college.
i've been living in bucks county pa since 1967, with the exception of a little less than a year in el paso tx. and a year overseas.
work: i started work with the pennsylvania railroad, which became the penncentral railroad, which became the bankrupt pa. nyc which became conrail, a quasi-goverment owned network of 6 bankrupt railroads. it then became public and profitable. when conrail was sold in 1999 i retired. i retired at 54 because well... i could, and i saw too many friends and family members including my dad not live long enuff to enjoy retirement.
i did take a forced 2 year leave of absense from work to live in the orient, mainly vietnam. as a military policeman
since then...Expand for more
my main favorite things to do have been taking my camera out into national parks. i spend at least a month a year out there. i've done just about all the parks in western us and in the summer of 2007 spent 2 weeks up in alaska. in2013 i spent 2 weeks out on the big island of hawaii seeing the live volcano from land, sea and air. when i'm not travelling i do some financial work for the condo assn. and have some clients i advise with their personal investments as well as plan my next excursion. i'm usually found at tvincent10 on aol services. the last few years have not been that good and i've been battling lung cancer. at this time it looks like i'm winning or at least in a stalemate as neither are gaining any advantage. i live close enuff to 4 of my 5 grandkids to enjoy watching them grow up and supporting them and one of my main objectives is to provide funds in 529 accounts to pay for at least one year of their college education. the grandkids are now 21,14, 13, 12 and 10.
my first invitation to a metuchen class reunion was received affter i logged on to this website in the early 2000's. doesn't say much for the school keeping in touch with their grads. so i didn't go to the reunion. more later.
