Laura and Tom Miller at our wedding dinner, 02/22/97, in Carefree, AZ. 

            (Laura's the cute one)

Laura is a medical claims adjuster for Progressive Insurance Company.  She is talented in art, humor, writing and music.  We met at a jazz concert at the Boarding House in Cleveland.  Her late father, Lou Darvas was a sports cartoonist for the Cleveland Press for many years.

OK,  the name "tvtom" was hung on me many years ago when  I was working for the NBC owned TV station in Cleveland.  My friends just started referring to me as "tvtom" instead of "Tom".   I started using "tvtom" as a logon name on the Internet, and it stuck. I haved worked for affilliates  of all four major networks over my 35 years in television.  I was employed by NBC for 22 years as a Technical Manager.  I worked for CBS-5 KPHO-TV here in Phoenix until my retirement in March 2002..

I play organ, sing Sinatra style Karaoke (a Japanese word for tone-deaf), dabble in astronomy, photography, genealogy, and computers.  I started in broadcast television in 1965 with WTPA-TV in Harrisburg, PA after serving two years with the military on civilian status at Camp David as part of the White House Communications Agency.  John F. Kennedy was President when I started there in 1963.  I joined WKYC-TV in Cleveland in December of 1966 and stayed until November of 1988 when I took the Job of Chief Engineer with WJW-TV in Cleveland.  I came to Phoenix in 1996 and have been working at KPHO-TV 5 since then, and retired in March of 2002.

My children are all grown and moved away from Ohio.

My oldest son, Craig, lived here in Phoenix until the summer of 2002 when he transferred to San Diego (lives in Poway, CA). He has two daughters.  He is a marketing engineer with Intel and received his M.B.A. degree from A.S.U. in the spring of 2000.

My next oldest is Gary.  He is a Civil Engineer for Columbia Gas Co. and lives in York, PA . He is a very good photographer and golfer.

My daughter Carole is married and lives in Ocoee, FL.  She also has two daughters.  She is a Certified Microsoft Systems Engineer. She is a systems administrator for the local school district.
