With a travel ticket and twenty dollars in his pocket he started off for college  in Ontario, where for three years he worked to pay his education bills.   In 1943  he joined the medical branch of the Royal Canadian Air Force, and spent about two years in England attached to Bomber Command, until the close of the war.
    Back home in Canada, he  resumed his education, graduating with a degree in theology and a marriage certificate. His wife, Margaret, is from Winnipeg. 
   For seven years he served in the ministry in Ontario. In the meantime, through the years, Tom had exercised  his yen to write.  This led to an invitation to connect with a  church  publishing house in Washington, D.C. as an editor.  After spending some time there,  he  was called to serve in a editorial capacity, first in  the Philippines  and later in India.  He spent five years  in each country as editor-in-chief of  publishing houses.
