Tom Rensing I was born in Granite City Illinois, on Nov. 8th 1932, and was raised in Canton Ohio In 1942 when war broke out, we moved back to Granite City. I joined the carpenters union in 1950, and joined the U S Navy in 1955. I was discharged in 1961. I married my wife Linda in 1963, and worked as a carpenter, millwright, and pile driver until the age of 62. We moved to Bull Shoals (paradise) . Linda and I spend our winters in Texas, along with our Jack Russell Terrier , Bell. We planned on doing a lot of fishing , when we retired to Bull Shoals, but music has taken over my life. l am truly honored to be a part of the Bull Shoals Jamboree, and to be associated with all the wonderful people there. ~Tom |
