Comments:

Yes it's me ...long lost Tom. I've been in the office supply biz since right out of high school, with a 5yr exception (no not prison) spending time at Eagle warehouse in Milan and Farmhouse Foods in Eldridge. Had thought I would have played softball till I was 50, but a knee injury at 24 ended that thought. Quit smoking at the age of 29, started jogging, and at age 32 wrote my first song. (maybe the increased oxygen to the brain?) Since then have written 1000 songs. I call them unfinished as have put chords to only 150 or so. But do have all 1000 neatly typed in ring binders. Thankfully I met Barbrie and she proof read them correcting my spelling and grammar. So that's what school was for!

School Story:

Thinking back grade school was the best, but still I preferred to miss school and stay home and watching Andy Griffith and Dick Van Dyke reruns! Perhaps why I wasn't accepted to Harvard. Or Scott Comm College for that matter! Slow to mature, I went from being pretty well known and athletic in grade school, to being quiet and shy after that, mainly because everybody else grew a foot and I didn't!

What’s your favorite vacation spot?

Do you have any nicknames (Past or Present)?

My stage name is Roylee McPeely

Famous or interesting people you've met?

What would we be surprised to know about you?

Paul and I became close school friends in Jr High....I remember us always making each other laugh....one time when I was on crutches, and was able to leave class five min early to get to the next class, I  chose Paul to carry my books....One time we had a race, him walking and me on crutches, I wiped out, slamming a crutch down on the floor as i fell. I I lay there laughing hysterically and Mr Robi came out of a classroom to see how badly hurt I was,as he thought I was crying hysterically. When he realized it was laughter, he glared at me and went back in the classroom without saying a word. Paul and I laughed all the way to the next class! I remember he had osteochondritis dissecan of the knees, while I had osgood shlatter. We were trying to out disease each with our knees!

Just like Tim, Dean and I had a short close friendship in grade school, but then our paths never crossed again.  We've lost another good guy.

I remember fondly how kind Jackie was.  Also in early years of grade school when the class would sing, she would sing out loud and clear, unlike the rest of us who bashfully sang along.-Tom Hebbeln

Thanks for hitting that clutch single with 2 outs, which enabled me to bat and hit the home run!
