Title: Greetings from behind the "Zion Curtain".
Post by: Roger Thompson on February 24, 2009, 10:22:31 PM: ;D Greetings, I am a new member. My name is Roger Thompson and I currently live in Layton Utah. We are about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City. I am originally from Malibu Lake California. I am married, with two children and two grandchildren. Our Grandchildren are Thompson on our side and Maxwell's on their mom's side, so they have a rich Scottish heritage! I work as an "at risk youth counselor" at a large residential facility, running a dorm with 68 young men who reside in my dorm. I look forward to getting to know others in the Clan and becoming more involved.

Roger.

Well, STU, at least SOME of us need one! or two? I will admit (as will Roger when he gets used to us) we have some 'original' characters in this bunch! And we have periods where there's little posting.....but we're always lurking around just waiting for someone 'else' to post something we can pounce on! :)

Welcome to the family nut house, Roger! Look around - there's lot of information posted here (as well as some very ummmm.....very ummmmm....well I guess
B.S. would cover it! Ask questions! Sometimes, that will get a bunch of messages with opinions and facts. And there are NO stupid questions --- we've already gotten them out of the way :o

Relax and enjoy! You're with family here.

We enjoy researching our families and histories together and am so glad to have you join us! I agree with Mary, counseling can always be useful around here!
Yours in family and spirit! Bev

Post by: Roger Thompson on February 25, 2009, 11:28:59 AM: ;D Thank you for the warm welcomes. I hope I will fit in, I am a bit wild and rough around the edges. I still enjoy partying and skateboarding with my grandchildren etc. Working with teenagers all the time, I am somewhat of a crazy animal myself. I will do my best to behave as to not offend anyone...

Roger.

Post by: PaulThompson on April 18, 2009, 09:52:26 PM: reminds me of the movie mobsters and Mormons!

Post by: Michael Thompson on April 19, 2009, 07:36:23 PM: There's a movie about mobsters and Mormons? Do they have a choir?

I echo Tom's invitation to Estes Park Roger. It may be a bit of a trek but it's worth it. We'd love to have you. And you may find us a bit rough around the edges ourselves. ;D

Post by: PaulThompson on April 21, 2009, 09:31:50 AM: I might have the title backwards also, it could be Mormons and Mobsters.

Post by: Michael Thompson on April 21, 2009, 05:40:07 PM: Speaking of which, thanks to whichever Tom Thompson (I think there are three of them on the board) left me the phone message during the big storm we had. Yes, we're all fine and the snow has melted (that's Colorado weather for you), and today it was over seventy degrees under bluebird skies. Glad to have you all as family.
