Congratulations to the Ohio Swish AAU Basketball Team!
Front row: (L to R) Nora Hemminger (McComb), Abbie Parkins (Bluffton), Sydney Holderman (Riverdale) and Haley
Wyss (Ada) Back row: (L to R) Ayana Getz (Upper Sandusky), Sierra Carey (Upper Sandusky), Lexi Schroeder (Ottawa

The Ohio Swish AAU basketball
team of the surrounding area recently
won the Women 2015 King James
Shooting Stars Classic High School
Division tournament in Cleveland,
Ohio.
While playing at the high school
division the Ohio Swish team,
consisting of all sophomores, beat
out teams from New York, Detroit,
Toledo, and Cleveland, until
advancing into the finals. The start
of the tournament was rocky for
Ohio Swish as they were defeated by
the King James 53-40. Shortly after
Ohio Swish picked up their game as
they went on to defeat DB Blue 63-
54, Detroit Hyper 49-26, New York
Playmakers 46-21, and the Toledo
Thunder 54-52. In advancing to
the finals Ohio Swish met up again
with the undefeated, LeBron James
sponsored team, the King James.
Throughout the duration of the
game it was constant battles of runs,
but eventually as the clock ran out
Ohio Swish prevailed, winning 6356 and taking away the King James
undefeated season title with them.
Riverdale’s Sydney Holderman
led the team in scoring for the
tournament, followed closely by
Sierra Carey of Upper Sandusky and
Abbie Parkins of Bluffton.

Tom was born in Lima, OH to
Italian immigrants Maria (Mary) and
Pio (Peter) Diglio. In June 1943 he
graduated from Lima’s St. Gerard’s
H.S., where he played varsity
basketball, and within days was
drafted into the military for service
in WWII.
After basic training Tarz (as
he was called since about age 6
after imitating Tarzan swinging
from vines) was selected for B-17
Mechanic Training, then went on
to Air To Ground Gunnery Training
through Sep ’44. He and the other 8
men on his B-17 crew joined together
in Nebraska in Nov ’44, and trained
in Tennessee through Dec ’44. His
crew was shipped to England aboard
the USS Wakefield in Feb ’46 arriving
at RAF Kimbolton after a 9-day
Atlantic crossing and several days in
Liverpool. They were assigned to the
8th Air Force, 379th Bomb Group,
525th Bombardment Squadron. The
crew named their B-17 “Carioca Joe”
for the Disney character Jose Carioca
from the “Three Cabalero’s” cartoon
movie.
Tarz was promoted to Tech
Sergeant and flew 19 missions over
Germany as the Flight Engineer/Top
Turret Gunner on Carioca Joe until
the war’s end. He says the scariest
mission was the second to last on
April 10, 1945 when their bomber
formation was attacked by 15 ME262’s, the German’s new jet fighter.
All told, Carioca Joe was damaged
by flak on every mission, but
miraculously no one on the crew was
ever injured.
He sailed back home to NYC
on the Queen Elizabeth liner and
was discharged in Dec ’45. He met
Patricia Wood, from Spencerville,
OH in Jan ’46, and married the love
of his life on Jan 8, 1949. Together
they had and raised 4 children,
Thomas, Barbara, Linda and Frank.
They have 6 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren.
He graduated from the Ohio State
Highway Patrol’s 35th class in May
’52 and served 10½ years at the
Findlay post.
He joined the U.S. Marshal’s
Service in Nov ’62 until Sep ’64. The
highlight of his time as a Deputy
Marshal was his stint in Chicago
during Jimmy Hoffa’s Federal Trial.
He joined Steele’s Auto Parts as
a salesman in Nov ’64 until Apr ’83.
Tom unsuccessfully ran for Hancock
County Sheriff in 1976 against
the Republican incumbent but
unfortunately came up about 1000
votes short. After leaving Steele’s,
Tarz joined ODOT at Lima as an
investigator, and later the District 1
Safety Officer.
Tarz retired in Sep ’87. He and
Pat enjoyed the winter months in
Sarasota, FL until 2004 when they
returned home to Findlay, where he
could better care for Pat’s mobility
issues. Tarz is still an active golfer
and looks forward to having his
garden every year. He and Pat
cherish visits from their children,
grandkids, and great grandkids.
Please join Tarz’s family and
friends in wishing him a very happy
90th birthday.
