Thomas Gerry Gillery
About the Author,
Thom Hillery hails from 256 Argonne, 2 houses away from the Prince of Kenmore. He is survived by his mother, Mini-mom, father Jimbowee, brother Bri-Guy, and sisters Lean Bean and Bridgebalidge. (Thom is actually still alive, thank goodness). He is a 2 time all world Gus Macker runner up, but you wouldn’t know it from his trophy rack (he gives all his second place trophies to Patrick Mang). He also has a bevy of Sportsmanship awards, which contrast his volatile on the court behavior. He has a tendency to get T-ed up for bouncing the ball violently, and also has been seen throwing the ball into the wall after Edvin’s dunk. Not to celebrate the dunk, but rather to show dismay for Edvin, and send the ball as far away from him as possible. He is rumored to still be having relations with Amy Rumple from cross-country. Many people thought their reign was over, but when you have such emotional public displays of affections with a person, its tough to forget about them. Thom had much magic with Amy, but his real magic takes place on brisk Saturday afternoons on Crosby field (or Longfellow depending if the D-bag worker kicks us off the good field). Here he is an Anquan Boldin clone, showing fearlessness as he goes across the middle and stretches the field. Much like Anquan Boldin, he had his face broken by Jimmy Abbott (author) in a meaningless defensive drill in basketball practice. Wouldn’t you know the one time Jim (author) and Thom hustled during a defensive drill, Gillery would dive on the floor, and Jim (author) would dive on his head, forcing his front teeth to pop out, and leaving his smile looking like a waxing crescent? (incidentally, Thom’s favorite moon). Thom also shares an affinity for Syracuse basketball, seahorses, BCCPT, Gabe Watson, apples, and Miss Geelan.
Here are some memorable moments in Thom’s life.
5.) Wearing a dress to moving up day in 8th Grade.
4.) Telling off Mr. Haynes, saying Jamie Gallo should play down low, and he should play the wing, causing Thom to run till the end of practice.
3.) Creating a stat shirt for Mitch Murphy, but still being able to buy into the team concept, and put the Regulators first.
2.) That awesome Kid-N-Play handshake that he and Jim (author) had
1.) Forming the Box Car Children Pool Team
