Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Tom Grooms


I graduated from Parsons College in 1960,married Zilpha in August 1960, and headed to William & Mary Law School, Williamsburg, VA. I worked as a National Park Ranger in the Colonial National Park while attending law school. Zilpha taught at James-Blair High School and was a costumed hostess for Colonial Williamsburg.

Upon graduation from law school in June of 1963 I was admitted to the Virginia Bar and began a career with Deere & Company, working with the Overseas Division, specializing in labor law. I was a member of the Virginia Bar for 40 years. Zilpha taught English, French and Spanish at United Township High School in East Moline, Illinois retiring in 1998.

We have three children, all of whom graduated from Valparaiso University, and had post graduate degrees and are married and have their own family. We have seven grandchildren.

Our oldest, Tom and his family live in Glencoe, Illinois and they have two sons and one daughter. Tom works for C. F. Industries and his wife Jillann is a teaches nurses.

Hayden and his family live in St. Anthony, Minnesota and they have one daughter and one son. Hayden is self-employed producing films BD videos for clients and his wife Eva works for a company that matches bone marrow donor with patients.

Heather and her family live in nearby Colona, Illinois and they have two daughters. Bill, her husband is a Geotechnical Engineer at a local business, and Heather is a high school History teacher.

After working 35.5 years, I retired in December 1998. I still enjoy travel, sports cars, reading and consider myself a buff of the Civil War.
