Former College Professor Tours With Family Many Newberrians will be int erested in the following news paper account of a trip taken by a Rock Hill family to New York and Bermuda. The leader of the safari is Dr. R. Y. Thomas, a re tired professor of Winthrop Col lege and founder of “Thomas Tours.” Many Newberry College graduates and others will remem ber Dr. Thomas when he taught at the college, leaving here to go to Winthrop. When in Newberry, Dr. Thomas lived on the campus. CHARLOTTE, N. C. — New York and Bermuda are going to have to contend with the Thomas family of Rock Hill, S. C., this year. The same as Mexico did seven years ago. Only this year there are 25 Thomases. Seven years ago there were only 17. It’s getting to be a habit with Dr. R. Z. Thomas, Sr., a retired Winthrop College professor. Sew- en years ago he planned the ex- penses-free safari for his clan to Mexico. They made the tour ia a chartered pullman. Tonight (Dec. 27) the clan boarded another pullman. They’ll go first to New York where they’ll have a day for sightsee ing. Then they'll board the SS Ocean Monarch, sailing for Ber muda Saturday. ✓ Using the ship as a* floating ho tel they will spend two days in Bennuda before returning to the mainland. They’re due back here January 4. For something like 30 years Dr. Thomas had conducted a private travel service, starting in 1926 while he taught at Winthrop. He has shepherded thousand of tour ists around the world. But there was one tour he had been hankerin’ to take for a long time and in 1949 he made it. As a Christmas present he gave his entire family—sons, daughters, grandsons, grandddaughters — an expense paid trip to Mexico. Tonight when the family gath ered to start their newest safari, they were all there but one. In the seven-year interim Dr. Thom as has become a widower. But there were seven new faces— grandchildren born since the first safari.
