"It is amazing to discover at what an early age the course of one's life has been charted..." — JT

► JT and family move to a farm owned by mother's family in Patterson, NY, population: 1400 (not to be confused with the better-known Paterson, NJ).
1943-1949
► JT's childhood artistic efforts are supported by his mother, an artist who had a degree in art from Skidmore College, had studied drawing and painting in Munich and Frankfort in the 1920s, and had exhibited briefly in New York City in the 1930s. She encourages JT to talk about his drawings and paintings and often inscribes his abundant youthful remarks on the backs of his works.

1944
