They eventually learned how to play several instruments and in later years made occasional appearances with their brothers and sister, most notably the Christmas specials from the 70's and early 80's. Both brothers became the inspiration for the Children's Miracle Network.
Tom and Virl were also the first deaf missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
Tom has worked for the United States Postal Service for the past 25 years and currently works at the post office in Ephraim, Utah. Tom married Lyn Heslop on January 13, 1972 divorced in 1989. They had 6 children together.
