    1. They really are fascinating. The other Thomas girls nicknames carried into adulthood, Mom mentioned Tim many times in her diaries. Also, Junior Grim was "Ginger" !!?? When we get to the baseball team, look for him on the right end, the catcher's mitt is bigger than he is, but he is listed as "Ginger"!!?? I knew him as an adult, curious little fellow. ;-)
