Joe and Robin live on Island Lake (bordering Island Lake State Recreation Area) in Brighton, Michigan, with their children Kim and Ryan.

Joe's archiving project

I'm working on posting my old scrapbooks, photos, and other historical stuff on line. Here's what I have so far:

• Great Chili Cookbook: Material from my chili cookoff days.
• Joe's Motorcycle Trip: Chronicles the motorcycle trip I took around the country in the mid 1970s.
• Chronicle of the Thomas Family Traveling in Europe: A letter that my mother Terry Thomas wrote as we traveled through France and Italy in 1961.
• Letters from Cheyenne: Letters sent from Cheyenne Wyoming in the early 1960s from our family to Bob Thomas (my Dad's brother) and his wife at the time Joanne Thomas.
