Thomas Charles Baird II February 18, 1973 |
Thomas Charles Baird II was born February 18, 1973 at the Bernalillo County Medical Center (now the University of New Mexico Hospital) in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. He was the second child and first son of William Charles Baird and Barbara Evelyn Wimberly Baird. The name of Thomas Charles was the name of Bill's father. The first Thomas Charles wanted a grandson to carry on the family name. Bill's father, Thomas Charles , died almost a year before our son Thomas Charles II was born, so we named him after his grandfather. Thomas has many of the same characteristics as his grandfather. He has the same blue eyes, that turn steel grey when he is angry or upset. He is very smart, and has a unique sense of humor. Thomas was the only baby I had who came home from the hospital the same time that I did. He was healthy and beautiful to me. His sister Martha was very proud to have a brother. From the very start, I knew that Thomas was above average in his intelligence. Before he was in kindergarten, he could figure mathematical problems in his head. Bill's sister Pat, worked as a waitress and most of her tips were in coin. Thomas would count her tips for her even before he started to school. Thomas attended many different schools. He started to school at Trinity Christian Academy in Roswell, New Mexico. We moved to Illinois, where he went to Waterman Elementary, in Waterman, Illinois. He then attended DeKalb Christian School in DeKalb, Illinois. He went to Waterman Jr. High School after that. We then moved to Texas, where he finished middle school and graduated from South Grand Prairie High School, in Grand Prairie, Texas. He enlisted in the United States Navy and spent two years in the Mediterranean Sea and the Carribean aboard the USS Seattle. While aboard the USS Seattle, Thomas and his Christian friends started a Bible Study Group. They made it known that they were Christians and would not compromise. Thomas attended Weatherford College in Weatherford, Texas, where he was enducted into Phi Theta Kappa. He transfered to the University of Texas at Arlington for the remainer of his college career, on a scolastic scholarship. His major is Computer Science Engineer. I am very proud of him. He not only is a full time student, he works full time as well. He has a great future ahead of him. Thomas Charles Baird II and Nicole Dea Patrick were married 27 Oct 2001, at Victory Family Church in Decatur, TX. The reception was at the Club at Runaway Bay. Nicole is the daughter of James Patrick and Paula Barnett. Thomas and Nicole are expecting their first child in March 2004. Send Thomas an e-mail |
