About Me

Let’s see, after I graduated from the 14th Way Corps in 1986, I went back to finish my masters at Texas A&M, and stayed to run a “Twig area.” At the end of three years, everyone between me and the Board of Trustees (My Territory Coordinator, the Limb Coordinator, and the Region Coordinator) had all left. I was sending my blue forms directly to Howard Allen. At that point, I left also. I got on a plane for Gartmore Scotland and married a Graduate of the E-5 Corps- Dagmar Reichelt. We lived in Germany for the first 3 years of our marriage. Rev. Chris Geer suggested it would be better for a newly wed couple to be in Europe at that time because the Ministry was not in such disarray there as it was here. I am sure that he was right. We stayed there through the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the ensuing U.S. Military Draw-down, then Moved back to the States. We had two beautiful Girls. Becca ,18, was born in Frankfurt Germany. (She is named after the 10th Corps Girl who witnessed to me.) Stephanie,14, was born in Missouri. (She was named after my Corps sister- Stephanie [Sarro] Barnard.) Dagmar and I Divorced in 2000, and I am currently helping my Corps Brother, Rev. Kenny Hagar run a CFF Ministry fellowship north of Kansas City, MO.

Tom,
I feel bad that I can not be siure of her name. I think it was Madaleen O'Brien. I know it was very Irish. she was an extremely sweet woman - blond hair and I think she was in her mid20s at the time. Of course, this was 22 years ago, so I am not sure if that is her name. It flows well, so I think it is, but perhaps it's a name from someone else I knew? I just can't remember... Do these details ring any sort of bell?

Impressive! Big hello to AnneMarie!
Janis Lang Johnson February 19, 2008 at 1:59pm

Thank you, I am guessing yellow isn't my color. Ron surprised me when I was in the backyard playing with the dogs. He makes me very happy. I am so glad I waited until God said I was ready to "husband hunt"
Michael Kasiak February 19, 2008 at 1:46am

Tom, you related to a Tina Kelso who was in the tenth Corps? Know where she is? Thanks, Mike

Your name is familiar but since I did not graduate I was not Emporia at that time.

Yes, Anita and her husband Frank live in Council Bluffs (although I do not see them). Frank is on this website as FC Farwell.

I work in Omaha Tourism.

Spiritually I seek God dilligently on a daily basis.

Thanks for the "Hello".

God bless you.

Thanks for the birthday wish!! I 'm curious... how did you know??
Rita Migliore February 14, 2008 at 8:05am

Ooosie! Right - da. Well, just goes to show how simple I am -- or how bad my memory is ??? Either way, it's (my mind that is) surrounded in a bubble of love, goodness, peace and other lovely things -- praise God for His presence where there really is FULLNESS OF JOY! Happy Heart Day!

16 and 12 -- an even longer way to go! It's all good and your love and example will show the good fruit in due time -- enjoy the craziness -- it can be really funny and it all goes by so quickly as you well know. What's the weather like in St. Joseph, MO? The streets are crusted with frozen rain (black ice) tonight here in Delaware -- we're all "stuck" at home. Hey, there's Debra Flaim's lovely picture above! She's one of my very dear friends. You have good taste!
