Served 3 years in U. S. Army after marrying Juli Salch who also was a 1966 classmate. I worked as a plumber working out of local 99 for 12 years then spent the next 21 years working as plumber for I. S. U. Retired in 2008 and I'm enjoying retirement. I've published a book on amazon as I spend some of my time writing since I've retired. Last June 23 Juli and me celebrated our 48 years of marriage. My family is my greatest accomplishment. My kids our my pride and joy. My son turned out a much better man than me. My two girls are also great individuals who have dealt with life in a very successful manner. Of course I have to give Juli the credit for my kids turning out so good. I've had a very good life with no regrets which I have to give Bloomington high school some of the credit for. While writing I wish I would have paid more attention in my English classes. Oh well too late for that. I miss a few commas here and there. I have had some bad spots in my life but my God has always given me the tools to come through these bumps in the road that we all encounter. I couldn't have had a better life.
School Story

My greatest memories of high school are of the great individuals I was blessed to have in my class of 1966. I consider all of you a blessing far above any that I deserve. Thank you.

See it's your birthday Tommy. Darn you're getting old. That's kind of scary. All my former classmates keeping getting and I don't age a bit. I must be aleast 30 by now. Oh my wife just said I'm 68. I'm just to punchy to remember. Oh well I feel 30 sometimes. Being punchy isn't all bad. Have a great birthday Tommy and stay young damn it.
