Thomas was a wrestler himself then, before he became a referee, and for a
couple of years he traveled everywhere with Talun, interpreting for him,
arranging matches and functioning as a kind of manager.
Later, in 1944, they became brothers in law, when Talun married Thomas'
sister, Edith, who had done a little wrestling herself in nightclub acts. She
was called Princess Blondina. Thomas later officiated in many of Talun's
matches. If there were any protests of nepotism, they went unrecorded.
