Thomas's Story
Life
Those of you who knew me back in high school might remember that I was into wilderness survival training courses like Outward Bound.
I finished Colorado Outward Bound School and went into Fisk University pledging Kappa Alpha Psi. I was determined to make my mark as a News Broadcaster/DJ...it actually worked for a while 'til I discovered I didn't like the newsroom.
I spent 15 years in Los Angeles and Las Vegas after getting a degree in English and a second BA in Speech & Dramatics from Fisk. Out in LA I got a Teaching Certificate at Cal State Dominguez Hills and started teaching in Compton (High School English).
A major earthquake moved me to Vegas where I had a very successful business in garment graphics (frat & sorority paraphernalia)but left it all behind to move to Texas after a divorce. In Houston I got a Masters from U of H Clearlake in Instructional Technology which I used to design Astronaut Training at NASA. I've been out here in Houston Independent School District working toward a certification in training teachers how to integrate technology into their courses.
Women..? Two ex wives and one beautiful son, Thomas Jr. who lives in Los Angeles with his mom. Questions? E-me!

She didn't realize it at the time but her reaction to how I handled female issues was like an unspoken guidance system (thanks Mary). And how can I forget Meg Mekransky! What a dynamite person.
Gary Dorsey...Deandre Baldwin... Raynard Wearing...Terry Seward..(oh yeah the GIRLS!) Eileen Haskins, Justine, Janice Fontell, and Dawn~~> Gwen, I'm looking for you, too!
College
Doc Collins...I hold the highest respect for you.
You brought the Harlem Renaissance to life in Negro Lit.
My Sands...Kevin Alexander...Eric Burkett...Bernard Graves!
Don't forget there were 35 guys on that line. The Men who crossed were "The Furious 4 of a Kind, Mysterious EastCoast Line".
Thank you to all the beautiful Fisk University Women who made it all worthwhile.
Thanks to all those TV and Radio Stations that gave me a shot at the title in the early days: WRFN/WFSK, WCAU CBS in Philadelphia, WSMV TV News Nashville, WTVF TV News Nashville, the ABC affiliate station in Philadelphia.
