[[Image:Pam.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pam Thomas]]'''Pamela "Pam" Jean Thomas''' (Maiden Name: Kalbacher) born October 25, 1965 in Tampa, Florida to Ruth Kalbacher and Paul S. Kalbacher, Sr.

Pam has three siblings: Pauline Suter, Penny A. Nicoll and Paul S. Kalbacher, Jr.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between her and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places. One of Pam's most treasured memories is one of and her sister riding the train at Lowry Park Zoo. By the time Pam was eight years old, Pauline had already been in the military and had gotten married. Her other siblings, Penny and Paul, moved out by the time she was ten.

Growing up, Pam's family always had lots of dogs and they became her playmates. She was never allowed to go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood, so most times she stayed in the yard with her dogs. Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion." Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective of her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis.

After her very sheltered existence in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Marriage/Children==
Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start.

Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam placed a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, [[Pat Thomas|Patrick T. Thomas]] caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they had each other at hello. They both found each other's soul mate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leann born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

In the beginning of Pam and Pat's relationship, the only children living with them were Samantha and Amanda. A month after Erica was born, Brandon came to live with them permanently. After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New Jersey.

Pam and Pat bought their very first house in Orange Park, Florida on October 10, 2007.

USS Khai Tam

2007-09-13T20:27:23Z

PamJean: /* The Current State of the Khai Tam */

{{stub}}
'''USS Khai Tam''' is the name of the Tallahassee, Florida chapter of Starfleet: The International Star Trek Fan Association. One of the most successful chapters in Starfleet's history, the ''Khai Tam'' boasted over 140 members during its hayday, making it the largest chapter in the world during that time. It also created the '''[[USS Khai Tam (Ficticious Vessel)|USS Khai Tam Technical Orientation Manual]]''', a book which attained international acclaim among Starfleet members, and is still available as of 2007 at conventions and on the internet.

==History==
The ''Khai Tam'' has a long and storied past about which books could literally be written. However, the necessarily brief synopsis below reveals much of the club's flavor, traditions and achievements.

===Birth of a Heritage===
In the Fall of 1990, Sharon Stewart, a student at [http://www.fsu.edu Florida State University] in Tallahassee, FL, was inspired by her love of '''[http://www.startrek.com Star Trek]'''. She wanted to form a fan club where she and others who shared a passion for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry Gene Roddenberry]'s creation
could unite. But rather than form an isolated club, Stewart chose to start a chapter of [http://www.sfi.org Starfleet], an organized alliance of Trek fan organizations from all over the world.

Every new chapter in Starfleet must start out as a "shuttlecraft" under the nine month tutelage of an established club. Sponsored by the USS ''Guardian'' in Cocoa, FL, Stewart's Shuttle ''Heritage'', NCC 26244/1, was officially launched on June 27, 1991. The club's name was taken from the spine of a book in Stewart's bookcase which she happened to glance while completing the Starfleet paperwork to start the chapter.

Seeing the benefits it would bring a new and struggling club, Stewart also established the ''Heritage'' as a student organization of FSU. This provided the club with regular on-campus meeting space, free advertising on campus media and a token budget. But being a student organization also added additional obstacles.

FSU understandably required all its student organizations to maintain at least 51% student membership. This was sustainable given the opportunity to recruit on campus, but it also created financial challenges for the group given the number of students, whose lack of cash is legendary. This often left ''Heritage's'' ledgers in the red. Another challenge with a student membership was that it was inevitable that many would head home for the
summer, leaving the club with a skeleton crew for nearly four months out of every year.

The ''Heritage'' was up to the task, though, and not only maintained its member/student ratio, but also managed to meet STARFLEET's requirements for membership. They were well on their way to becoming a full-fledged ship. ''Heritage'' developed what would become a legendary ability to overcome financial, personal and political obstacles in order to excel as a cohesive group. The group also developed a compelling instinct to party, and even now, ''Heritage''/''Khai Tam'' parties are the stuff of legends.

===Growing Pains===
In March of 1992 the ship held its first election for Commanding Officer
(CO)and Executive Officer (XO). Until that time, the ship had been led by
its founding force, Sherry Stewart. With the creation of the ship's early
[[Bylaws]], however, it became mandatory that the CO and XO be elected each
year. This first election turned into a black time in the history of the
''Khai Tam'' as the membership was split almost evenly on the two
campaigning teams.

On the one side were Sherry Stewart (CO) and Matt Henry (XO), the incumbent
command team. In fact, they were the only command team that the ship had
ever known and they represented stability and maintenance of the status quo.

On the other side were [[Jon Reddick]] (CO) and [[Ro Reddick|Laurie
Copetti]] (XO), a young untested command team, whose only credentials were
their records of active membership in the shuttle thus far -- Copetti was
serving as the Department Chief for Sci/Med, and Reddick the assistant Chief
of Security.

The Reddick/Copetti platform was best represented in their slogan, "A ship
in its harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are for." (Incidentally, a
variation on that slogan is now the Khai Tam's official motto.) Jon and
Laurie imagined much more for the ship than simply a fun fan club. They
envisioned a force in the community that could perhaps, in some small way,
help bring about the world that Roddenberry had envisioned.

Each crew member of the Heritage felt very strongly about the team he or she
supported, and as the date for the election drew near, tension was at an
all-time high. There were many impromptu "debates" among members supporting
opposite platforms, and they seldom ended happily. But when the dust
settled and the votes were counted, the Reddick team won by a narrow margin
-- 12 to 9.

===Dawning of A New Era===
Even after the majority had spoken, Stewart was reluctant to give up the
helm. Dragging the results through miles of unnecessary Starfleet red tape,
it was not until four months later, on July 12, 1992 that a change of
command finally took place.

Aware that the election results and finally the command change itself had
taken their emotional toll on Stewart, many of Reddick and Copetti's first
actions were clearly intended to try to heal those bruises, and bring both
Stewart and her disheartened suporters back into the fold. Unfortunately,
sometimes such intentions simply don't work. Although Commander Sherry
Stewart accepted the ship's commissioning on April 4, 1992 (at which time
our name changed officially from ''Heritage'' to ''Khai Tam''), it was not
long before she would leave the ship.

When Stewart left the ''Khai Tam'', several other members (likely Stewart's
supporters in the election) also dropped out of active duty. Though this
slashed the ship's existing membership to nearly half, it would turn out to
be the fresh start that the Reddick/Copetti command team needed to set the
ship on its new course.

The Reddick command team would prove to be so successfull that they would be
elected unopposed for five consecutive years, being replaced only when they
voluntarily stepped down out of exhaustion. They would retake the helm
after a year of rest and continue for six more years unopposed. Truly, the
creation of an Era.

===Enter the Brave Heart===
When a shuttle is commissioned as a ship, its members must choose a ship
class. For example, Kirk's ''Enterprise'' was a Consitution-class ship and
Picard's a Galaxy-class, but the ''Khai Tam'' didn't want to go with either
of those...or any other established ships in the '''Star Trek''' universe.
This was partly becuase the club already had made it a policy to be
difficult, but mostly because of their Klingon heritage (no pun intended).

On the ''Khai Tam'', as on many STARFLEET ships, members adopt personas that
fit their personalities. During the early years of Shuttle ''Heritage'',
many crew members, nearly half in fact, had adopted a Klingon persona.
There was much debate over whether they shouldn't just choose a Klingon
class of ship.

During this point in time, '''Star Trek: The Next Generation''' was in its
first run and the Klingons and Federation were at peace. The members
reasoned that if they were no longer at war, then there would certainly be a
sharing of technology between the two sides. What was finally agreed upon
was that they would design their ''own'' class of ship which would share
Klingon and Federation technologies. It was decided that these ships would
be of the Qapla'-class (Qapla' meaning success in Klingon), and that their
own vessel would change it's name to ''Khai Tam''. The name ''Khai Tam''
(pronounced kie-tom), suggested by founding Shuttle Heritage member, Lucy
Nguyen, is Vietnamese for "brave heart." The fact that it sounds vaguely
Klingon in origin was merely a happy coincidence.

===The Qapla' Project===
The very first concept drawing of the Qapla'-class ''Khai Tam'' was made
circa 1991 by Jon Reddick during a Shuttle Heritage meeting. From the first,
the vessel already showed the basic Federation saucer/Klingon propulsion
design that stayed with the ship through all its incarnations right up to
the finished project.

The concept was so outlandish that STARFLEET's Department of Technical
Services (DTS), which must approve a chapter's choice of class, at first
denied the club's request to be a Qapla'-class vessel. It wasn't until a
more fleshed-out set of specifications were submitted that they finally
approved the design, but then only as an "Experimental Class" which could
not be adopted by any other chapter.

And that's where the Qapla' class stayed for over a year: begrudgingly
approved by Starfleet, but restricted for any other chapter to choose --
destined to be the first, and last, of her line. That is, until the Fall of
1993.

The second-class status which the ''Qapla' '' held with Starfleet had been
gnawing at the ''Khai Tam'' Engineering department's pride for over a year,
and they were determined to rectify the situation. DTS had claimed that the
design was "not plausible" and "would never fly" -- and they knew that the
only way to convince them otherwise was to fully document the "Treknology"
behind the design. And that's what they set out to do.

Chief Engineer [[Colin Toenjes]] eventually recruited the help of member
[[Kevin McNulty]] in writing and illustrating this documentation. The end
result was the '''[[USS Khai Tam (Ficticious Vessell)|USS Khai Tam Technical
Orientation Manual]]''' eventually published by Intergalactic Trading Company
in Orlando, FL. Faced with a perfect-bound, 92-page, commercially
successful book, STARFLEET DTS relented, and the Qapla'-class was approved
for general use in the organization in 1994. Since then, sevel chapters
have claimed this design as their own.

===A Brief Change of Scenery===
After commanding the ''Khai Tam'' for five [[?]] consecutive years, the Reddick command team was feeling the weight of command, and the pressure from everyday life. The opted in 1996 [[?]] to step down as CO and XO to allow a new team to infuse the organization with fresh ideas. In 1996 Laurie Long and [[Kevin McNulty]] took the reigns as CO and XO respectively. The Long command team revisted many aspects of the club from its motto (which the members voted to keep) to its forms and administrative practices.

The year of their command was marked with many changes, yet at it's core the ship remained a labor of love for all. The new command team was as relieved as anyone, though, to turn command back over to a rested and rejuvinated Reddick team in 1997. The Reddicks would go on to guide the club for six [[?]] more years unopposed.

==Recruiting==
As with any volunteer organization, recruiting has always been a major concern of the ''Khai Tam'' and many traditional and a few experimental methods have been used throughout its history:

* '''Parade Floats'''
:In November of 1991, the Shuttle ''Heritage'' 'built a float for FSU's Homecoming Parade. Then the ''Khai Tam'' took the idea over the top with a lighted design for Tallahassee's evening holiday parade in December of 1996 [[CHECK YEAR]].

* '''Movie Premieres'''
:The club has been quite a presence at every new Trek movie that has come out since the inception of the ''Khai Tam''. This is especially effective because we're always in uniform. It is made even more effective by the presence of our Captain in full Klingon makeup.

* '''Conventions'''
:The few Trek-O-Rama conventions held in Tallahassee were a great recruiting boon. The ''Khai Tam'' has also provided a presence atseveral cons throughout Florida.

* '''Hooter Trek'''
:Of course, one of the most enjoyable recruiting ventures for members was Hooter Trek. The manager that ran the local Hooter's restaurant was a Trek fan and a couple of times he gave the entire porch over to a mini convention. People would sit around and eat and drink and be merry while watching Trek videos. And, of course, if they heard something about the Khai Tam in the process, well...

==Community Service==
One of the things that the Reddick team made their priority after their election was community service - a torch that has been carried by every subsequent command team. Over the years the club has taken part in several community service activities:

* '''St. Marks Trail'''
:One of the oldest ongoing activities has been the cleanup of the first three miles of a local nature trail.

* '''TMH Children's Ward'''
:Visiting the pediatric ward of a local hospital in full uniform and taking comic books and such to the kids on the ward. Members would sit and entertain the kids for a while so that Mom and/or Dad could go get a soda or whatever.

* '''Starfleet's Stampede'''
:For many years the club was award-winningly active in STARFLEET's annual charity fund raiser.

* '''Collecting Coupons'''
:For a time these collected coupons were provided to residents at the local battered women's shelter. Later they were sent overseas to the military in conjunction with the Fleet project.

* '''Volunteering'''
:''Khai Tam-ers'' helped build a few houses for the local Habitat for Humanity and they helped the local children's science center open their doors.

==Awards==
The Khai Tam is proud of itself and proud of its members. Over the years
they've garnered many awards such as:
* Chapter Web Site of the Year
* Marine Strike Group of the Year
* Florida State Parks' Award of Appreciation
* Region 2 Chapter of the Year

==The Blue Blazers==
A subset of the STARFLEET association is a group known as the Starfleet
Marine Corps. These fans base their personas and role playing on the
mythical ground element of Star Trek's Starfleet. Each ship may have its
own Strike Group, and the ''Khai Tam'' is proud to embark the 78th Marine
Strike Group known as ''The Blue Blazers''. Early in the days of the SFMC,
the 78th established the standards by which the rest of the region's marines
measured themselves. In the late 1990s, marines from the ''Khai Tam'' and
her sister ship ''[[Relentless]]'' dominated the internation staff of the
SFMC.

==Parties==
In September of 1991 the Reddick command staff started the tradition of
having a season premiere party. Later on in the life of the club this
became [[KhaiCon]] - a miniature convention complete with games and episode
viewings and panels and a lot of fun to be had by all. While the club's
parties were legendary, none compare to the KhaiCons held in the late 1990s
and early 2000s. Whether it was one member having to pull another's head out
of the water because they'd just gotten whacked by a canoe or whether it was
the Captain pontificating from chair after he'd had a bit too much Romulan
Ale, the parties are always a great deal of fun.

For many years each of the club's six departments held responsibility for a
party every other month. And put together some great ones:

* The pool party at Captain Reddick's place where memebrs filled an empty
garbage can full of water and tried to drench him with it. Of course, they
weren't thinking clearly about the fact that he could move so much faster
without carrying that water.

* The ''[[Pon Farr Orgy]]''. There's something almost mystical about staying
up late into the night around a big bonfire (built in someone's backyard no
less) and talking Trek and drinking late into the night. Especially when
you almost broke your foot earlier that day in a testosterone-driven dive
for a volleyball.

* The beach party where one of the members dove into water that was much too
shallow and another one got sun poisoning but refused to let us take him to
the hospital.

* The June 1992 ''[[Rites of Ascension]]'' for Captain Reddick. While
members didn't have actual Klingon painsticks, they ''did'' have big wooden
fraternity-type paddles.

* The Halloween ''[[Mirror Universe Party]]'' where memebrs came dressed as
their opposite personality...or ''gender''. There are just some people who
shouldn't be seen in drag.

* Numerous Christmas Formals that saw the memebrs turn out in their finest
to share the holiday spirit.

* The Blue Blazer's own M*A*S*H-Themed dinner party complete with chow hall
and camoflage netteing.

==The Current State of the Khai Tam==
As the popularity of Star Trek has ebbed and flowed, so has the memebrship
of the ''Khai Tam''. As the movies wound down, and the ratings for
'''Voyager''' and '''Enterprise''' waned, so too did the memebrship of the
club. Adding to the effect was the inevitable exodus of student members who
graduated and moved away. Several key members also moved away, taking their
energy and enthusiasm with them. Inevitable, even the Reddicks moved on,
leaving behind a dynasty of Trek fandom.

The ''Khai Tam'' is a living thing, and all living this follow a life
cycle. The club was born, grew rapidly in its youth, enjoyed an exuberant
adolesence, and eventually settled down into a calmer, and hopefully
long-lived, adulthood.

These days, the ''Khai Tam'' is still staffed by a small group of loyal
members who carry on many of the traditions of the club. The current
commander [[Richard Graham]] has admirably carried the torch of superior
leadership that the club is known for. Though its ranks have thinned, the
spirit of the ''Khai Tam'' lives on in its members of today and yesterday.

PamJean: /* Marriage/Children */

[[Image:Pam.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pam Thomas]]'''Pamela "Pam" Jean Thomas''' (Maiden Name: Kalbacher) born October 25, 1965 in Tampa, Florida to Ruth Kalbacher and Paul S. Kalbacher, Sr.

Pam has three siblings: Pauline Suter, Penny A. Harman and Paul S. Kalbacher, Jr.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between she and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places. A special place Pam still remembers, is she and her sister riding the train at Lowry Park Zoo. By the time Pam was eight years old, Pauline had already been in the military and had gotten married. Her other siblings, Penny and Paul, moved out by the time she was 10.

Growing up, Pam's family always had lots of dogs and they became her playmates. She was never allowed to go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood, so most times she stayed in the yard with her dogs. Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion". Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective over her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her Mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis.

After her very sheltered existance in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Education==
*Attended a Catholic kindergarten, however it was optional in the early 70's and consisted mainly of playing.
*Attended another Catholic school for the next eight years, Most Holy Redeemer, Tampa, Florida.
*Ninth grade was at Adams Junior High School, Tampa, Florida.
*Attended high school at Chamberlain High School, Tampa, Florida, and graduated June of 1983.
*In 1988, started evening classes at Hillsborough Community College, Brandon, Florida. She chose general studies as her major and only took one class a semester.
*Also attended community college at Tallahassee Community College, Tallahassee, FL. She changed her studies to computer programming.
*Stopped her studies in 2000 and lacks anywhere from 20 to 30 credits, depending on her major, from receiving her AA.

==Occupations==

*In 1983 while Pam was a Senior in high school, she was in a program called Cooperative Business Education. She attended school the first part of the day, and worked as a Secretary for an engineering firm called Sprinkle Consulting Engineers, Inc. the second part of the day. She remained with them until 1985.

*January 1986 to January 1995 - worked at NCNB National Bank, which turned into NationsBank and then turned into Bank of America. She started as a Secretary in the Operations section of the bank. In 1989, she transferred to the Trust Deparment and became a Trust Associate.

*February 1995 to September 1997 - worked at Peek Traffic Transyt. She was first hired as an Accounts Payable Clerk and then transferred to the Stockroom in a supervisory position.

*September 1997 to April 2000 - worked at Watts Mechanical, Inc. as a full fledged Bookkeeper.

*July 2005 to Present - works as an Independent Contractor for various work-at-home companies, such as LiveOps, West, Arise and ACD Direct. She has answered inbound customer service calls for Office Depot, Teleflora, 1800Flowers, Pizza Hut and for informercials you see on television.

==Residences==
*1965 to 1992 - Tampa, Florida
*1992 to 1993 - Mauldin, South Carolina
*1993 to 2000 - Tallahassee, Florida
*2000 to Present - Jacksonville, Florida

==Marriage/Children==
Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start.

Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam placed a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, [[Pat Thomas|Patrick T. Thomas]] caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they had each other at hello. They both found each other's soulmate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leann born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

In the beginning of Pam and Pat's relationship, the only children living with them were Samantha and Amanda. A month after Erica was born, Brandon came to live with them permanently. After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New York.

Pam and Pat plan on buying their very first house in Orange Park, Florida which is just a hop, jump and a skip from where they live now.

Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion". Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective over her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her Mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis.

After her very sheltered existance in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Education==
*Attended a Catholic kindergarten, however it was optional in the early 70's and consisted mainly of playing.
*Attended another Catholic school for the next eight years, Most Holy Redeemer, Tampa, Florida.
*Ninth grade was at Adams Junior High School, Tampa, Florida.
*Attended high school at Chamberlain High School, Tampa, Florida, and graduated June of 1983.

*Stopped her studies in 2000 and lacks anywhere from 20 to 30 credits, depending on her major, from receiving her AA.

==Occupations==

*In 1983 while Pam was a Senior in high school, she was in a program called Cooperative Business Education. She attended school the first part of the day, and worked as a Secretary for an engineering firm called Sprinkle Consulting Engineers, Inc. the second part of the day. She remained with them until 1985.

*January 1986 to January 1995 - worked at NCNB National Bank, which turned into NationsBank and then turned into Bank of America. She started as a Secretary in the Operations section of the bank. In 1989, she transferred to the Trust Deparment and became a Trust Associate.

*1992 to 1993 - Mauldin, South Carolina
*1993 to 2000 - Tallahassee, Florida
*2000 to Present - Jacksonville, Florida

==Marriage/Children==
Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start.

Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam placed a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, [[Pat Thomas|Patrick T. Thomas]] caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they had each other at hello. They both found each other's soulmate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leanne born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

In the beginning of Pam and Pat's relationship, the only children living with them were Samantha and Amanda. A month after Erica was born, Brandon came to live with them permanently. After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New York.

Pam and Pat plan on buying their very first house in Orange Park, Florida which is just a hop, jump and a skip from where they live now.

USS Khai Tam

2007-09-13T19:40:02Z

PamJean: /* A Brief Change of Scenery */

{{stub}}
'''USS Khai Tam''' is the name of the Tallahassee, Florida chapter of Starfleet: The International Star Trek Fan Association. One of the most successful chapters in Starfleet's history, the ''Khai Tam'' boasted over 140 members during its hayday, making it the largest chapter in the world during that time. It also created the '''[[USS Khai Tam (Ficticious Vessel)|USS Khai Tam Technical Orientation Manual]]''', a book which attained international acclaim among Starfleet members, and is still available as of 2007 at conventions and on the internet.

==History==
The ''Khai Tam'' has a long and storied past about which books could literally be written. However, the necessarily brief synopsis below reveals much of the club's flavor, traditions and achievements.

===Birth of a Heritage===
In the Fall of 1990, Sharon Stewart, a student at [http://www.fsu.edu Florida State University] in Tallahassee, FL, was inspired by her love of '''[http://www.startrek.com Star Trek]'''. She wanted to form a fan club where she and others who shared a passion for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry Gene Roddenberry]'s creation
could unite. But rather than form an isolated club, Stewart chose to start a chapter of [http://www.sfi.org Starfleet], an organized alliance of Trek fan organizations from all over the world.

Every new chapter in Starfleet must start out as a "shuttlecraft" under the nine month tutelage of an established club. Sponsored by the USS ''Guardian'' in Cocoa, FL, Stewart's Shuttle ''Heritage'', NCC 26244/1, was officially launched on June 27, 1991. The club's name was taken from the spine of a book in Stewart's bookcase which she happened to glance while completing the Starfleet paperwork to start the chapter.

Seeing the benefits it would bring a new and struggling club, Stewart also established the ''Heritage'' as a student organization of FSU. This provided the club with regular on-campus meeting space, free advertising on campus media and a token budget. But being a student organization also added additional obstacles.

FSU understandably required all its student organizations to maintain at least 51% student membership. This was sustainable given the opportunity to recruit on campus, but it also created financial challenges for the group given the number of students, whose lack of cash is legendary. This often left ''Heritage's'' ledgers in the red. Another challenge with a student membership was that it was inevitable that many would head home for the
summer, leaving the club with a skeleton crew for nearly four months out of every year.

The ''Heritage'' was up to the task, though, and not only maintained its member/student ratio, but also managed to meet STARFLEET's requirements for membership. They were well on their way to becoming a full-fledged ship. ''Heritage'' developed what would become a legendary ability to overcome financial, personal and political obstacles in order to excel as a cohesive group. The group also developed a compelling instinct to party, and even now, ''Heritage''/''Khai Tam'' parties are the stuff of legends.

===Growing Pains===
In March of 1992 the ship held its first election for Commanding Officer
(CO)and Executive Officer (XO). Until that time, the ship had been led by
its founding force, Sherry Stewart. With the creation of the ship's early
[[Bylaws]], however, it became mandatory that the CO and XO be elected each
year. This first election turned into a black time in the history of the
''Khai Tam'' as the membership was split almost evenly on the two
campaigning teams.

On the one side were Sherry Stewart (CO) and Matt Henry (XO), the incumbent
command team. In fact, they were the only command team that the ship had
ever known and they represented stability and maintenance of the status quo.

On the other side were [[Jon Reddick]] (CO) and [[Ro Reddick|Laurie
Copetti]] (XO), a young untested command team, whose only credentials were
their records of active membership in the shuttle thus far -- Copetti was
serving as the Department Chief for Sci/Med, and Reddick the assistant Chief
of Security.

The Reddick/Copetti platform was best represented in their slogan, "A ship
in its harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are for." (Incidentally, a
variation on that slogan is now the Khai Tam's official motto.) Jon and
Laurie imagined much more for the ship than simply a fun fan club. They
envisioned a force in the community that could perhaps, in some small way,
help bring about the world that Roddenberry had envisioned.

Each crew member of the Heritage felt very strongly about the team he or she
supported, and as the date for the election drew near, tension was at an
all-time high. There were many impromptu "debates" among members supporting
opposite platforms, and they seldom ended happily. But when the dust
settled and the votes were counted, the Reddick team won by a narrow margin
-- 12 to 9.

===Dawning of A New Era===
Even after the majority had spoken, Stewart was reluctant to give up the
helm. Dragging the results through miles of unnecessary Starfleet red tape,
it was not until four months later, on July 12, 1992 that a change of
command finally took place.

Aware that the election results and finally the command change itself had
taken their emotional toll on Stewart, many of Reddick and Copetti's first
actions were clearly intended to try to heal those bruises, and bring both
Stewart and her disheartened suporters back into the fold. Unfortunately,
sometimes such intentions simply don't work. Although Commander Sherry
Stewart accepted the ship's commissioning on April 4, 1992 (at which time
our name changed officially from ''Heritage'' to ''Khai Tam''), it was not
long before she would leave the ship.

When Stewart left the ''Khai Tam'', several other members (likely Stewart's
supporters in the election) also dropped out of active duty. Though this
slashed the ship's existing membership to nearly half, it would turn out to
be the fresh start that the Reddick/Copetti command team needed to set the
ship on its new course.

The Reddick command team would prove to be so successfull that they would be
elected unopposed for five consecutive years, being replaced only when they
voluntarily stepped down out of exhaustion. They would retake the helm
after a year of rest and continue for six more years unopposed. Truly, the
creation of an Era.

===Enter the Brave Heart===
When a shuttle is commissioned as a ship, its members must choose a ship
class. For example, Kirk's ''Enterprise'' was a Consitution-class ship and
Picard's a Galaxy-class, but the ''Khai Tam'' didn't want to go with either
of those...or any other established ships in the '''Star Trek''' universe.
This was partly becuase the club already had made it a policy to be
difficult, but mostly because of their Klingon heritage (no pun intended).

On the ''Khai Tam'', as on many STARFLEET ships, members adopt personas that
fit their personalities. During the early years of Shuttle ''Heritage'',
many crew members, nearly half in fact, had adopted a Klingon persona.
There was much debate over whether they shouldn't just choose a Klingon
class of ship.

During this point in time, '''Star Trek: The Next Generation''' was in its
first run and the Klingons and Federation were at peace. The members
reasoned that if they were no longer at war, then there would certainly be a
sharing of technology between the two sides. What was finally agreed upon
was that they would design their ''own'' class of ship which would share
Klingon and Federation technologies. It was decided that these ships would
be of the Qapla'-class (Qapla' meaning success in Klingon), and that their
own vessel would change it's name to ''Khai Tam''. The name ''Khai Tam''
(pronounced kie-tom), suggested by founding Shuttle Heritage member, Lucy
Nguyen, is Vietnamese for "brave heart." The fact that it sounds vaguely
Klingon in origin was merely a happy coincidence.

===The Qapla' Project===
The very first concept drawing of the Qapla'-class ''Khai Tam'' was made
circa 1991 by Jon Reddick during a Shuttle Heritage meeting. From the first,
the vessel already showed the basic Federation saucer/Klingon propulsion
design that stayed with the ship through all its incarnations right up to
the finished project.

The concept was so outlandish that STARFLEET's Department of Technical
Services (DTS), which must approve a chapter's choice of class, at first
denied the club's request to be a Qapla'-class vessel. It wasn't until a
more fleshed-out set of specifications were submitted that they finally
approved the design, but then only as an "Experimental Class" which could
not be adopted by any other chapter.

And that's where the Qapla' class stayed for over a year: begrudgingly
approved by Starfleet, but restricted for any other chapter to choose --
destined to be the first, and last, of her line. That is, until the Fall of
1993.

The second-class status which the ''Qapla' '' held with Starfleet had been
gnawing at the ''Khai Tam'' Engineering department's pride for over a year,
and they were determined to rectify the situation. DTS had claimed that the
design was "not plausible" and "would never fly" -- and they knew that the
only way to convince them otherwise was to fully document the "Treknology"
behind the design. And that's what they set out to do.

Chief Engineer [[Colin Toenjes]] eventually recruited the help of member
[[Kevin McNulty]] in writing and illustrating this documentation. The end
result was the '''[USS Khai Tam (Ficticious Vessell)|USS Khai Tam Technical
Orientation Manual]''' eventually published by Intergalactic Trading Company
in Orlando, FL. Faced with a perfect-bound, 92-page, commercially
successful book, STARFLEET DTS relented, and the Qapla'-class was approved
for general use in the organization in 1994. Since then, sevel chapters
have claimed this design as their own.

===A Brief Change of Scenery===
After commanding the ''Khai Tam'' for five [[?]] consecutive years, the
Reddick command team was feeling the weight of command, and the pressure
from everyday life. The opted in 1996 [[?]] to step down as CO and XO to
allow a new team to infuse the organization with fresh ideas. In 1996
Laurie Berge [[chekc the last name]] and [[Kevin McNulty]] took the reigns
as CO and XO respectively. The Berge[?] command team revisted many aspects
of the club from its motto (which the members voted to keep) to its forms
and administrative practices.

The year of their command was marked with many changes, yet at it's core the
ship remained a labor of love for all. The new command team was as relieved
as anyone, though, to turn command back over to a rested and rejuvinated
Reddick team in 1997. The Reddicks would go on to guide the club for six [[?]]
more years unopposed.

==Recruiting==
As with any volunteer organization, recruiting has always been a major
concern of the ''Khai Tam'' and many traditional and a few experimental
methods have been used throughout its history:

* Parade Floats - In November of 1991, the Shuttle ''Heritage'' 'built a
float for FSU's Homecoming Parade. Then the ''Khai Tam'' took the idea over
the top with a lighted design for Tallahassee's evening holiday parade in
December of 1996 [[CHECK YEAR]].

* Movie Premieres - The club has been quite a presence at every new Trek
movie that has come out since the inception of the ''Khai Tam''. This is
especially effective because we're always in uniform. It is made even more
effective by the presence of our Captain in full Klingon makeup.

* Conventions - The few Trek-O-Rama conventions held in Tallahassee were a
great recruiting boon. The ''Khai Tam'' has also provided a presence at
several cons throughout Florida.

* Hooter Trek - Of course, one of the most enjoyable recruiting ventures for
members was Hooter Trek. The manager that ran the local Hooter's restaurant
was a Trek fan and a couple of times he gave the entire porch over to a mini
convention. People would sit around and eat and drink and be merry while
watching Trek videos. And, of course, if they heard something about the Khai
Tam in the process, well...

==Community Service==
One of the things that the Reddick team made their priority after their
election was community service - a torch that has been carried by every
subsequent command team. Over the years the club has taken part in several
community service activities:

* St. Mark's Trail - One of the oldest ongoing activities has been the
cleanup of the first three miles of a local nature trail.

* TMH Children's Ward - Visiting the pediatric ward of a local hospital in
full uniform and taking comic books and such to the kids on the ward.
Members would sit and entertain the kids for a while so that Mom and/or Dad
could go get a soda or whatever.

* Starfleet's Stampede - For many years the club was award-winningly active
in STARFLEET's annual charity fund raiser.

* Collecting Coupons - For a time these collected coupons were provided to
residents at the local battered women's shelter. Later they were sent
overseas to the military in conjunction with the Fleet project.

*Volunteering - ''Khai Tam-ers'' helped build a few houses for the local
Habitat for Humanity and they helped the local children's science center
open their doors.

==Awards==
The Khai Tam is proud of itself and proud of its members. Over the years
they've garnered many awards such as:
* Chapter Web Site of the Year
* Marine Strike Group of the Year
* Florida State Parks' Award of Appreciation
* Region 2 Chapter of the Year

==The Blue Blazers==
A subset of the STARFLEET association is a group known as the Starfleet
Marine Corps. These fans base their personas and role playing on the
mythical ground element of Star Trek's Starfleet. Each ship may have its
own Strike Group, and the ''Khai Tam'' is proud to embark the 78th Marine
Strike Group known as ''The Blue Blazers''. Early in the days of the SFMC,
the 78th established the standards by which the rest of the region's marines
measured themselves. In the late 1990s, marines from the ''Khai Tam'' and
her sister ship ''[[Relentless]]'' dominated the internation staff of the
SFMC.

==Parties==
In September of 1991 the Reddick command staff started the tradition of
having a season premiere party. Later on in the life of the club this
became [[KhaiCon]] - a miniature convention complete with games and episode
viewings and panels and a lot of fun to be had by all. While the club's
parties were legendary, none compare to the KhaiCons held in the late 1990s
and early 2000s. Whether it was one member having to pull another's head out
of the water because they'd just gotten whacked by a canoe or whether it was
the Captain pontificating from chair after he'd had a bit too much Romulan
Ale, the parties are always a great deal of fun.

For many years each of the club's six departments held responsibility for a
party every other month. And put together some great ones:

* The pool party at Captain Reddick's place where memebrs filled an empty
garbage can full of water and tried to drench him with it. Of course, they
weren't thinking clearly about the fact that he could move so much faster
without carrying that water.

* The ''[[Pon Farr Orgy]]''. There's something almost mystical about staying
up late into the night around a big bonfire (built in someone's backyard no
less) and talking Trek and drinking late into the night. Especially when
you almost broke your foot earlier that day in a testosterone-driven dive
for a volleyball.

* The beach party where one of the members dove into water that was much too
shallow and another one got sun poisoning but refused to let us take him to
the hospital.

* The June 1992 ''[[Rites of Ascension]]'' for Captain Reddick. While
members didn't have actual Klingon painsticks, they ''did'' have big wooden
fraternity-type paddles.

* The Halloween ''[[Mirror Universe Party]]'' where memebrs came dressed as
their opposite personality...or ''gender''. There are just some people who
shouldn't be seen in drag.

* Numerous Christmas Formals that saw the memebrs turn out in their finest
to share the holiday spirit.

* The Blue Blazer's own M*A*S*H-Themed dinner party complete with chow hall
and camoflage netteing.

==The Current State of the Khai Tam==
As the popularity of Star Trek has ebbed and flowed, so has the memebrship
of the ''Khai Tam''. As the movies wound down, and the ratings for
'''Voyager''' and '''Enterprise''' waned, so too did the memebrship of the
club. Adding to the effect was the inevitable exodus of student members who
graduated and moved away. Several key members also moved away, taking their
energy and enthusiasm with them. Inevitable, even the Reddicks moved on,
leaving behind a dynasty of Trek fandom.

The ''Khai Tam'' is a living thing, and all living this follow a life
cycle. The club was born, grew rapidly in its youth, enjoyed an exuberant
adolesence, and eventually settled down into a calmer, and hopefully
long-lived, adulthood.

These days, the ''Khai Tam'' is still staffed by a small group of loyal
members who carry on many of the traditions of the club. The current
commander [[Richard Graha]] has admirably carried the torch of superior
leadership that the club is known for. Though its ranks have thinned, the
spirit of the ''Khai Tam'' lives on in its members of today and yesterday.

Reddick Poker & Gaming

2007-09-09T04:06:53Z

PamJean: /* Custom Chip Design */

[[Image:rpg_logo.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Reddick Poker & Gaming Logo]]'''Reddick Poker & Gaming''' (RPG) is the general branding of poker games hosted by [[Jon Reddick|Jon]] & [[Ro Reddick]].

The name implies there is some larger organization or genuine gambling establishment backing the regular events, though in reality the games are simply home games, albeit well-coordinated and quite often unnecessarily elaborate home games.

==Custom Chip Design==
In October 2005, RPG commissioned [http://www.pjcc.com PJCC Collectibles] to print a 1000-piece set of custom poker chips bearing the stylized "R" logo on one side, and similarly-textured iconic silhouettes from classic video games on the reverse side.

[[Image:Rpg-art.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Reddick Poker & Gaming Custom Chip Design]]

The design characterized the family's enjoyment of poker, their love of classic arcade video games, and ironically combined the two. Ironic because poker has a somewhat "cool" or "macho" image in popular culture, and classic video games are instead quite "nerdy" or "geeky." The combination of heads & tails uniquely reflected the organization for which it was intended.

The final artwork was submitted in November 2005 and initially approved. But a few days later, tragedy struck when Jon received the following email from PJCC:

{| {{quotetable}}
|Jon,
After looking at your chips again, we are concerned that the images you just added (to the reverse side) are copyrighted. We are not sure about our rights to reproduce them...

Michele<br>
http://www.pjcc.com
|}
The submitted design was exactly what he wanted, and to have to change at this point and re-design the chips would have been heartbreaking. But rather than accept defeat, he scrambled to put together a defense. He drafted the following letter to PJCC:

{| {{quotetable}}
|Hi, Michele:

I investigated this myself prior to adding the images. The way in which the elements are being used falls under parody/fair-use in all of the following legal criteria...

(From www.publaw.com)<br>
...These factors are the (1) purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is commercially motivated or instead is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) nature of the copyrighted work; (3) amount and substantiality of the portion used in the newly created work in relation to the copyrighted work; and (4) effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. A court when evaluating a fair-use defense takes into consideration each of the four factors as no single factor by itself is sufficient to prove or disprove fair use. The following discussion will describe the specific fair use criterion and provide an overview of the key issues involved in the analysis of the fair-use defense....

To touch on the items, (1) the purpose is not at all commercially motivated and is for personal use, (2) this falls under the "creative work" category, (3) the individual icons are extracted from their environments, completely re-created and re-colorized (the chrome texture) as to differentiate themselves from the original and (4) will have zero impact on the the existing market or value of the icons themselves, as none of them are even remotely related to the sport of poker. This last point also touches on the parody aspect -- the juxtaposition of these video game characters (all over 20 years old) in relation to the current popularity of poker (which has no electronic element) create the humorous correlation.

From my understanding, for all of these reasons my designs fall well within the parody/fair-use provision of copyright law.

Please confirm that all is well. Thanks. :)

Jon Reddick
|}
Within a day, the response came back:

{| {{quotetable}}
|Hi Jon,<br>
That's great...thanks! We will proceed with the order.

Thanks again,<br>
Michele
|}
The order did indeed proceed and the chips were delivered in late December 2005.

[[Image:Pam.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pam Thomas]]'''Pamela "Pam" Jean Thomas''' (Maiden Name: Kalbacher) born October 25, 1965 in Tampa, Florida to Ruth Kalbacher and Paul S. Kalbacher, Sr.

Pam has three siblings: Pauline Suter, Penny A. Harman and Paul S. Kalbacher, Jr.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between she and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places. A special place Pam still remembers, is she and her sister riding the train at Lowry Park Zoo. By the time Pam was eight years old, Pauline had already been in the military and had gotten married. Her other siblings, Penny and Paul, moved out by the time she was 10.

Growing up, Pam's family always had lots of dogs and they became her playmates. She was never allowed to go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood, so most times she stayed in the yard with her dogs. Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion". Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective over her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her Mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis.

After her very sheltered existance in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Marriage/Children==

Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start. Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam placed a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, Patrick T. Thomas caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they had each other at hello. They both found each other's soulmate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pat has over 20 years of military service and is presently in the Florida National Guard. He was deployed to aide in helping Operation Iraqi Freedom at the end of December, 2002. He returned February of 2004. In June of 2005, he deployed again for Operation Enduring Freedom and returned September of 2006.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leanne born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

In the begining of Pam and Pat's relationship, the only children living with them were Samantha and Amanda. A month after Erica was born, Brandon came to live with them permanently. After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New York.

Pam and Pat plan on buying their very first house in Orange Park, Florida which is just a hop, jump and a skip from where they live now.

After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New York.

Pam and Pat plan on buying their very first house in Orange Park, Florida which is just a hop, jump and a skip from where they live now.

[[Image:Pam.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Pam Thomas]]'''Pamela "Pam" Jean Thomas''' (Maiden Name: Kalbacher) born October 25, 1965 in Tampa, Florida to Ruth Kalbacher and Paul S. Kalbacher, Sr.

Pam has three siblings: Pauline Suter, Penny A. Harman and Paul S. Kalbacher, Jr.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between she and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places. A special place Pam still remembers, is she and her sister riding the train at Lowry Park Zoo. By the time Pam was eight years old, Pauline had already been in the military and had gotten married. Her other siblings, Penny and Paul, moved out by the time she was 10.

Growing up, Pam's family always had lots of dogs and they became her playmates. She was never allowed to go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood, so most times she stayed in the yard with her dogs. Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion". Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective over her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her Mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis.

After her very sheltered existance in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Marriage/Children==

Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start. Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam places a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, Patrick T. Thomas caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they each other at hello. They both found each other's soulmate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pat has over 20 years of military service and is presently in the Florida National Guard. He was deployed to aide in helping Operation Iraqi Freedom at the end of December, 2002. He returned February of 2004. In June of 2005, he deployed again for Operation Enduring Freedom and returned September of 2006.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leanne born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between she and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places.

PamJean: /* Marriage/Children */

[[Image:Example.jpg|thumb|200px|right|John William Doe]]'''Pamela "Pam" Jean Thomas''' (Maiden Name: Kalbacher) born October 25, 1965 in Tampa, Florida to Ruth Kalbacher and Paul S. Kalbacher, Sr.

Pam has three siblings: Pauline Suter, Penny A. Harman and Paul S. Kalbacher, Jr.

==Childhood==
Pam grew up in Tampa, Florida and remained there until 1992. She is the youngest child in her family. There is a gap between she and her siblings and they have always viewed her as the baby of the family and treat her as such even to this day. Her parents worked all the time when she was a child, therefore, her oldest sister, Pauline took care of her and took her to lots of different places. A special place Pam still remembers, is she and her sister riding the train at Lowry Park Zoo. By the time Pam was eight years old, Pauline had already been in the military and had gotten married. Her other siblings, Penny and Paul, moved out by the time she was 10.

Growing up, Pam's family always had lots of dogs and they became her playmates. She was never allowed to go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood, so most times she stayed in the yard with her dogs. Her favorite was a german shepherd, Kimba, named after the cartoon "Kimba the White Lion". Kimba remained in the family over 12 years. Pam's Mother was always very protective over her and that is why she was never allowed to leave the yard. Pam had always wanted to join girl scouts, however, her Mother would not let her join because she was afraid Pam would be kidnapped from camping trips. Pam finds this logic to be very strange, because she can remember lots of times at the age of eight being left on her own for hours on end roaming the streets until her parents came home from work.

Pam went to a Catholic school, Most Holy Redeemer, from first to eighth grade. Her siblings before her attended this school and their Father worked there as well as a maintenance man. It was not fun because every time Pam got in trouble, the Nuns would be sure to tell her Father everything the very moment they saw him walking around the school. She then attended Adams Junior High School for ninth grade and then finished her high school years at Chamberlain High School. She was very shy growing up and very self-conscious. She had always had a weight problem and the boys in the Catholic school were very mean and made fun of her on a daily basis. To this day, she has very low self-esteem that can be traced back to all those years ago.

After her very sheltered existance in Catholic school, Pam ventured into the public school system. It was very different than a parochial school, however, she was free from the horrible uniforms they were forced to wear. She found the public school system to be much easier and made better grades, getting the honor roll most every time. She was always very quiet though and kept to herself. She hated labels and refused to be part of any clique, therefore, she seemed to hang around kids that were considered outcasts at school.

==Education==
*Attended a Catholic kindergarten, however it was optional in the early 70's and consisted mainly of playing.
*Attended another Catholic school for the next eight years, Most Holy Redeemer, Tampa, Florida.

*Stopped her studies in 2000 and lacks anywhere from 20 to 30 credits, depending on her major, from receiving her AA.

==Occupations==

*In 1983 while Pam was a Senior in high school, she was in a program called Cooperative Business Education. She attended school the first part of the day, and worked as a Secretary for an engineering firm called Sprinkle Consulting Engineers, Inc. the second part of the day. She remained with them until 1985.

*January, 1986 to January, 1995 - worked at NCNB National Bank, which turned into NationsBank and then turned into Bank of America. She started as a Secretary in the Operations section of the bank. In 1989, she transferred to the Trust Deparment and became a Trust Associate.

==Marriage/Children==

Pam went on a blind date in March of 1991 with Michael C. Smith and by April 25, 1991 she married him and became Pam Smith. After a month of marriage she realized her mistake but decided to make the best of it. Mike was a tow truck driver and a very rough looking person. They were having some financial troubles and decided to move to South Carolina in 1992 to make a fresh start. Mike was born and raised there and returned to be near his family. Pam transferred her bank position up to Greenville, South Carolina and they resided in Mauldin. After Pam found out about several indiscretions by her husband, she left him in February of 1993. She moved into an apartment in Easley, South Carolina. Her old boss from the Trust Department from Tampa, Florida called her one day and asked if she would be interested in moving to Tallahassee, Florida because they were opening up offices there. She agreed and moved to Tallahassee July of 1993.

After lots of failed relationships between 1993 and 2000, Pam places a personal ad in the paper talking down about men and how she was just looking to use men because they all seemed to not be very serious about anything else. She received 100 replies to this ad. One in particular, Patrick T. Thomas caught her eye and she began talking to him through email. He had actually replied seeing if the ad was a joke or if someone else had placed the ad for her as a joke. The conversations quickly progressed to instant messages and then to the phone. They agreed to meet and when Pam opened the door to greet Pat, their eyes locked and they each other at hello. They both found each other's soulmate! She married Pat on March 2, 2001 at Nicholson's Farmhouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Pat has over 20 years of military service and is presently in the Florida National Guard. He was deployed to aide in helping Operation Iraqi Freedom at the end of December, 2002. He returned February of 2004. In June of 2005, he deployed again for Operation Enduring Freedom and returned September of 2006.

Pam has one bio-child with her husband Pat and her name is Erica Ruth and she was born on June 5, 2001. Pat has several children from previous marriages. Pat has been married three times before and had four children with his second wife. Samantha Christine born in 1995, Amanda Leanne born in 1997, Brandon Richard born in 1998 and Jeremy Hunter born in 2000. Pat also has another child from a former girlfriend named Aislyn born in 1995.

In the begining of Pam and Pat's relationship, the only children living with them were Samantha and Amanda. A month after Erica was born, Brandon came to live with them permanently. After Pat's last deployment, Amanda went to live with her bio-mother. It was only supposed to be temporary, but appears to be permanent, especially now since they moved to New York.

Pam and Pat plan on buying their very first house in Orange Park, Florida which is just a hop, jump and a skip from where they live now.
