Tom Danielson was born in Alexandria, Minnesota but moved with his family to Phoenix shortly after where he remained until his mid-20s. Tom moved to Washington State on May 18, 1980 – the day Mount St. Helen’s erupted. Tom says it was a truly historical and memorable day that he will never forget. Tom initially moved to Washington to care for his great aunt. Over the years, Tom had a career in customer service and worked various positions in that field. In 1990 Tom met the love of his life whom he married a dozen years later. Tom and his wife raised two beautiful daughters and have three amazing

grandchildren. Although he and his wife parted ways, Tom says they remain great friends to this day. Shortly after his marriage ended, Tom secured a position with Tacoma Rescue

Mission where he seized every opportunity to minister to those in need. Tom was

diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome which caused nerve damage in his legs

and forced his retirement in 2010. Through Goodwill, Tom was trained through

the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). Tom was placed at

Lighthouse Activity Center through the SCSEP program where he continues his

training and volunteer services. He is now a registered participant and a huge

asset to the center. Tom is resourceful, kind, gentle, caring, and motivated

Christian man. He is a much-loved member of the Lighthouse family.

Tom, thank you for all you do!!

Inspirational Thought:

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life

in your years.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

Just for Laughs A young man saw an elderly couple having lunch at McDonald's. He noticed

they only ordered one meal, and an

extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the

hamburger in half, then counted out the fries, one for him, one for her, until each

had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup and set

it in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat, and his wife sat watching,

with her hands folded in her lap. The young man asked if he could purchase

another meal for them so that they didn't have to split theirs. The old

gentleman said, "Oh no. We've been married 50 years, and everything has

always been shared, 50/50." The young

man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "It's his

turn with the teeth."

The story of Black History Month begins in

1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United

States. It is an annual celebration of achieve-ments by African Americans and a time for

recognizing the central role of blacks in U.S.

history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter

G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president

has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries

around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to cele-

brating black history.
