Thomas Logan

NOTE FROM VICKI on July 27:

That quiet, shy guy with those "beautiful, mystical eyes," much like his cousin Sharon, can hold his own with anyone in any conversation anywhere today, believe me! I just got off the phone with Tom Logan tonight, and I'm downright wore out from talking and laughing. So, let me catch you up a bit on Tom's life, with his permission, of course.

He's lives in Ham Lake, Minnesota, and has two sons, Robert and Alan, who he actively raised and who are a big part of his life today.

Twin City Die Casting was Tom's employer and second home for 31 years. The last 21 years he spent in Purchasing for this family-owned business before he retired in 2003. When he's asked what is the greatest thing about retirement, his answer is always this: "I hated going to bed at 10 p.m. because I WASN'T TIRED; and, I hated getting up at 4:30 a.m. because I was DEAD TIRED! Now, I go to bed at 12p.m., because I AM TIRED; and I get up at 8 a.m. because I'm NOT TIRED!"

The guy even quit smoking three years ago and is now off to the health club in the morning three days a week. WOW! He is also actively involved in his church and enjoys doing a little fishing now and then.

Tom mentioned that he has never forgotten the day he was home on leave from the service a year after we graduated and drove up to Alex with Terri Uhden's brother Mike. They passed by the wreckage of a car accident on the way, and then they themselves had an accident in town. The police said they were much luckier than the young man who was just killed out on the highway. Tom knew instantly that he had just lost his classmate and friend who he had gone to school with from St. Mary's through MHS ... it was, indeed, the Loher family station wagon that he had recognized earlier.

On a brighter note, Tom says HI to all and have FUN at the reunion. (Because of prior commitments, he can't make it.) He also says, "Remember that I have a FULL HEAD OF HAIR ... even if it is gray!!!"

(THANKS to Terrie Uhden who ran into Tom in Donnelly at her sister's store and got his address and phone number. She e-mailed Carla Riley, who then sent him our class reunion mailing. Thus, Tom is no longer missing!)
