Hello,
My name is Tom Mims, the maker of this Home Page.
I am the son of Thomas Ewart Mims, Sr., who was born in, what is
now called West Columbia, South Carolina on April 27th, 1921.
After my Dad's Dad died in 1937, most of the family left the
Columbia area and moved to Miami, Florida.My Dad joined the
Army Air Force, and spent most of the War in England.In 1945
after the war, my Dad started to work at Southern Bell.He
retired after 39 years.
My Dad married Esther Marie Danielson, from Spring Valley, WI.
She was born on January 31st, 1923.My mom moved to Miami,
Florida in 1942, with Eastern Airlines.She met my Dad after
World War II, and they were married on September 14, 1946.
The had two girls and me.My older sister, Linda Marie Mims was
born on July 9th, 1949.I was born on June 4th, 1952, and my
younger sister Sally Jane Mims, was born on March 1st, 1955.We
were all born in Miami, and spent all our growing up years in
Miami, except a couple of years in Homestead.
Both of my sisters are married.Linda married James F. Matthews
and they have four kids, Philip, Tiffany, Angela and Stephen.
They now live in the St. Louis, MO area.Sally married Danny
Dees, of Live Oak, Florida, and they have three kids; Danielle,
Timothy and Johnathan.They have lived in the Atlanta area for
nearly seventeen years.Sally is by far the most stable amoung
us.My parents, Linda and I have moved several times since 1975.
I married Julie Anne Slager, also of Miami, Florida on September
9th, 1977, and we have one son, named Michael Thomas Mims.
Something that is unique about myself, my sisters and their
husbands ----> we are ALL Florida GATORS !!!!!I messed
everything up and married a Seminole.We all forgave my wife
on January 2nd.I believe the score was 52 - 20.Revenge is
sweet.
We are very EXCITED to be having a MIMS FAMILY REUNION this
summer.This is the first time for the family to get together
in quite some time.
If there are any long lost relatives of mine, that I don't
know, I would love to hear from you.
