Thomas Ames

Tom Ames – Children active in sports and the rodeo
I am a divorced father of 6 children 4 of whom are out on their own and doing well. Two I am still trying to point in the right direction. I have a boy and a girl 14 & 9 respectively. They both like school and sports. Cance plays football, basketball, wrestling, and track as well as rodeo, and he is a very good bull rider and bareback rider. Shelby likes to run barrels and poles. They make my life worth while. There’s never a dull moment. I enjoy them immensely. I am a retired pipeline welder. I have a lot of time on my hands which the two of them take up. Thanks, Tom
