thomas

my father's father was born of the thomas stock before his adoption by the petersons. he took "thomas" as his first name in commemoration of that heritage. all of his male progeny (six total - two sons, four grandsons) bear the "thomas" namesake in one fashion or another (five middles, one first).

with all due respect to another gentleman, i have finally decided to implement a plan hatched by my esteemed associates and me during college: nomenclatural coup d'état. in the interests of disambiguation and aesthetics, i am unofficially changing my name to Scott Thomas. please update your records.
