Tom Dean a Tar Heel again

Tom Dean, back in North Carolina

Tom Dean has moved from Lynch Station, Virginia, were he lived with his late wife, Rosemarie Dean, for 11 years, to Goldsboro, North Carolina.

Reports Tom: “I am back online. It will probably be a week before I'm completely

unpacked, picture-hanging, changing insurance, new car license, etc.”

 

Tom has three sons in Goldsboro and brother Jim, Class of 1945, not that far away in LePlace, Louisiana. The sons work in Raleigh, Pine Level and Fayetteville.

 

Tom and Rosemarie lived in Goldsboro, North Carolina for 35 years before moving to Lynch Station, near where their daughter, retired Colonel Pam Dean Mitchell, lives in Arlington, Virginia. But there are more children and grandchildren near Goldsboro than Lynch Station, so Tom moved back to Goldsboro.

 

Tom’s Air Force career took him to such places as Spain, Iceland and Germany. Since Rosemarie’s passing Tom has taken trips throughout America with his long-distance truck-driving son.

 

He also has been a regular at Monongah High Alumni Reunions in Fairmont, which include visits to Monie – Ramona Fullen Michalski, Class of 1951 – who lives in Monongah.

Tom’s brother, Charlest Robert “Chub” Dean, Class of 1954, and Chub’s wife, Shirley Salisbury Dean, Class of 1957, have passed away.

Tom doesn't think that Margie Dean, Class of 1948, is related to him. But, as Tom added, "Who knows?"
