Dreams Come True One Day At A Time

by Tom Giglio

Overview

The story begins in the post WWII era with Tom Giglio growing up in rural Old Zionsville, Pennsylvania area. It is in this rural setting of old and new homes that the seeds were sown to become a homebuilder. The tight-knit community included craftsman and artisan of all types that started him dreaming. Around every corner, there was an adventure to be had with his childhood friends, and those friendships fed into his dreams, eventually turning them into reality. It was a difficult time for him at age eleven when the family moved back to Virginia, leaving his childhood home. The memories he left behind in Pennsylvania were tucked in his heart, and he vowed he would not forget the families and friends of Old Zionsville. However, in time, he adapted to his new surroundings in Norfolk, Virginia, and the move opened new and unexpected doors that fulfilled his youthful ambitions. Life threatening events, demanding challenges, and romance all lead to a successful endeavor to develop, own, and operate his Construction Company in Halifax County, Virginia.
