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.
