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.

Super! My daughter, Joanna Rose, is graduating college this Sunday! Hallelujah! A few years ago this seemed like an insurmountable task -- she really worked hard. I am so proud of her!

Did I reply to this yet? You might catch me ANYTIME online, you just never know :)

You're right about the song and title -- I didn't like the muscial either, but I like that song. I used to sing it to myself on the way to grammar school when the weather was stormy. Didn't realize God was alway with me back then--but He was, and still is. Jordan Sparks sings the song on my page. She's the then 17-year old who won American Idol last year. I have a better favorite song by one of the guys from Selah that I'd like to download when I get some time to get in on the computer and then on to this site. Janis gave me a few tips. How are you doing, Tom?

it can be good stuff: I had a 13 yr old out tonight, mild to mild-mod autism, to a baseball game. talk about a kid lighting up - he's always watched it alone, on tv...never to real games. the games have been a good place to get "to" him :)

Hi Tom!
Good to see your smiling face...and those of your daughters! I think you are aging nicely, seriously. You look and sound like you are enjoying life. I'm sorry things did not work out in your marriage, truly. It's hard on everyone. On another note, congratulations on all of your many accomplishments and successes! Thanks for writing and God's best to you and the girls :-) Here's to the next 20 years and all the amazing things they will hold for us. Love, Regina

Hi Tom! The reunion picture was from a recent Women's "Advance" in Helen, GA. Lake Daly had her 50th and invited friends from different parts of the US to join her. It was wonderful. Patti Graniero put the event on. There were no real associations of any particular ministry. Gals came from many different backgrounds, but primarily had been involved with the Way at one time or another. Thanks for writing...loved reading your profile. It's simply amazing how many years have past and the exciting lives we've lived.
God bless you! Judy
