Q & A with Thomas Uram Money means more to UK alum Thomas Uram than what it can buy at the grocery — its beauty, art and history are paramount

homas J. Uram ’82 BE spends his day as a senior financial services account executive with Met- Tropolitan Life, helping people with their monetary needs, including family legacy planning. Outside of the office, his passion revolves around a different aspect of money — he is a numisma- tist, one who studies money. Last year he was appointed to a four- year term as one of 11 individuals on the prestigious Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC). ese experts advise the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury on design pro- posals relating to circulating coinage, bullion coinage, Congres- sional Gold Medals, and national and other medals. While Uram does collect some paper money, his focus has always been coin collecting. “When I was about 12, my dad’s brother was involved with collecting. He got me interested and signed me up with the American Numismatic Association,” he says. “ey are the educational side of collecting and its history.” Aer that, Uram dove headfirst into learning everything he could about coin collecting. is involved joining more organiza- tions, acquiring reference books, buying and selling coins and at- tending regional and national coin shows. When it was time to go to college, he chose the University of Ken- tucky because his brother had assured Uram it was simply the “right place to be.” Uram enrolled in the Gatton College of Business & Economics and obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administra- tion with a concentration in finance in 1982. During his senior year, he held an internship with Met Life. When he returned to his hometown just southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he was hired by the company and has spent a 32-year career there. Of course, attending UK had other benefits. Uram met his fu- ture wife, Lynn Spoonamore ’84 BE, who is now a human re- sources consultant and shows Shetland Sheepdogs in

Thank you — but not goodbye! Photo: Jeff Hounshell Jeff Photo: Each year, several members of the UK Alumni Association Board of Directors have their terms come to an end during the organization’s Summer Workshop. This get-together is not only an opportunity for the board to conduct its business, but it is a wonderful occasion for its members to say “thank you” to outgoing board members for their service to the association and the University of Kentucky. This summer, some of the outgoing board members who were on hand at the workshop were, left to right: Sheila P. Vice of Shelbyville; Bill Perdue of Dacula, Georgia; Adele Pinto Ryan of Louisville; Marsha Rae Wallis of Indianapolis, Indiana; Daniel L. Sparks of Cypress, Texas; and Sandra “Kay” Kinney of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Other outgoing board members who are not pictured are Dr. Larry M. Elliott of Lexington; Jacob D. Ingram of Nicholasville; and James L. Jacobus of Danville. n
