[edit] History
Born in the rural town of Sandwich, Illinois, Tommy was the 10th of 10 children and 7 dogs born from the parents, Richard and Velma O'Malley. Tommy was quickly given up for adoption at the White Oak Adoption Agency because the family could not afford to keep him as a family member. Tom was lucky to be adopted rather quickly by an Irish family in the winter of 1931. At the age of 4, Tom was introduced to drinking by his adoptive parents Philip and Lacey McDreyers. (Most of Tom's childhood could not be recorded due to lack of memories by the McDreyers) Little Tom not only excelled at drinking(alcoholism), but basketball as well. In high school, Tom dominated the court mostly because of his massively long arms and "wide body" frame. He designated himself the only shooter on the team for his entire high school career. This choice earned him back to back all-conference records his Junior and Senior years. He also sets the record for most points in a game, 84; most pins dropped on the floor, 17; and most arghs! spoken against his teammates in a single game, 48.
[edit] College
Tom attented the "all girls school", Saint Xavier University, thus becoming the first male student ever to force himself into a school not suitable for oneself. There. he majored in Nursing and minored in Women's Studies. He also dabbled in ceramics where he mastered the art of the spinwheel. Tom unfortunatley quit playing basketball to focus on his studies at SXU.
