An avid Red Sox fan, he still cannot believe he lived to see the Red Sox actually win a World Series.

Mr. Thomson lives in Kittery with his wife, Coralee where he serves as both a member of the Kittery Town Council, and a "living example" to his AP US Government students. They are the proud STA parents of Patrick, ’02, David, ’04, and Ellen, ’06.
