Hi Grace all the Ruska's. This is an old friend of Tommy's from Sharondale Drive and Garden Hills and North Fulton High School for 65 years.
I am sorry I just found out about Tommy on an online search .
I have many stories about Tommy and his parents I hope I can relate someday to all of his kids and Grace I think you have heard a few.
This is a wake up call for me to contact some of my dearest friends now. I will always have fond memories of our childhood.
