(A Biography of Thomas Ross Gallant - he preferred to be called "Ross" - published in a brochure of the Engineering Department of the U.S. Government office in Chicago Illinois - picture that was included in the biography is the photograph of him on this page)
The handsome young man pictured has compiled an enviable record in the Government service, serving with the Engineer Department continuously since 1898. His employment in the Chicago District dates back to April of 1908.
Despite his years of service he is very active, filling in his leisure time in the pursuit of his favorite hobby -- cabinet making and fancy woodworking. Some of his time must be spent in light reading, as he is noted for his ready wit and subtle humor.
It is rumored that every now and then our subject likes a certain horse. However, his wife couldn't verify the rumor. This one may puzzle you quite a little, but if you give up we will have the solution for you next month.
