Thomas's Story
Life
I was only in Southwest one year in 73-74 Staying in another highschool till 77 and got my GED. Went into our family business of Real Estate. Repairing, Rebuilding, Plumbing, Carpetlaying, Roofing,Etc., Etc. Never got married, But should have with my first Gal.
After that was over, back then,,I still worked on our houses and had another girl for a couple years, and still lived in Kansas City, around my neighborhood that I was raised in, way east of Brookside.
All these years, I've been in contact with "my best bud", Alan Croisant. We use to terrorize Waldo, as teenage kids, and then as we got older we terrorized the rest of KC in our Mopars. He has always been a good friend to me for all these years.
In 1989, I was 29 And I got together with an Arkansas woman,...Expand for more
and had two beautifull kids,in 1990 a girl "Heather", and a boy in 1992, Tom Jr. their mother left before they were 3 years old.
So with some help from their grandparents,,,Ive been a single parent to my kids, since.
I now moved to a southeastern Missouri town,Thayer Mo. where I put the kids in Highschool. We have cattle on 125 acres here, and alot of Carpenter work to be done all over this town. Its where my family on both sides originated from.
As I have become older, I gathered a passion for learning my Family history, and my own history too. When I travel down Wornall I see so many changes I cant explain to my kids well enough, what it use to be like.
I hope the very best for every one Ive known from Southwest.
