Drain Bramage
Living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) isn't always about what you've forgotten. Sometimes it's about learning to remember, rebuilding your confidence, and accepting that life will never be quite the same.

T-Bone Comes Home to Roost After 35 Years at Woodlawn
A couple of years after his dad retired, T-Bone was handed the entire Maintenance Department to run, just as his father had for so many years. His final hoorah was redesigning a pneumatic-hydraulic quad-drilling unit/table that is PLC controlled. His dad built the original in the late 1970s. It worked and did the job for close to 50 years!
From learning the trade under his dad to carrying that legacy into a new generation of manufacturing, T-Bone’s 40-year career is one hell of a story. Come meet the man behind T-Bone’s Place and see how he finally came home to roost.
