Magazine Names Ralph Thomas Person Of The Year For 2010
When ArtChix Magazine
chose its ‘Person of the Year for 2009, President Barack
Obama was the clear favorite. For reasons that were anything
but political, we chose President Obama for meeting the criteria
we set in a profound way.
This year our readers helped us narrow down the list like they
did last year. But this year it wasn’t a politician or
a Hollywood member of the glitterati that came out ahead.
Our 2010 ArtChix Magazine ‘Person of the Year’ beat
out two big names on our list. George Clooney and Angelina Jolie
represented Hollywood and despite their contributions in other
areas, our readers wanted what they called ‘a real American’
who was ‘a real influence’. It was funny that our
readers looked outside of Hollywood or Washington to find those
qualities (laughing) and, as they say, the rest is history.
Ralph Thomas is well known to ArtChix Magazine fans. He has graced the cover countless times, more than any Hollywood celebrity and for no other reason than he is a living legend as far as spymasters go. But the Thomas legend goes far beyond the private spy industry. There is a depth of character, abundant patriotism and a love for people that transcends his business. Quite simply, Ralph Thomas is all about people. He could climb atop his throne and perch there and not a single individual could say he hasn’t earned that right. But he shares his throne with others, especially youthful, aspiring entrepreneurs and private spies who want to know how to be the best at what they do. Thomas also has a sense of history. As he takes so many young spies under his wing, he also gives them history to use to their advantage. His private spy museum is one example of his love for history for the business Of private spycraft. His collection is vast and his knowledge is comprehensive. Thomas is a spymaster, but he’s also a talent scout when it comes to spycraft and art. When he sees innovation and talent, he doesn’t just cheer from the sidelines. He gets into the trenches and becomes involved. He’s a doer, not a talker. He is a legend of his craft and admired by a whole litany of private spies and entrepreneurs who rely on him for advice and treasure his support. Click Here To Read The Cover Story

Ralph D. Thomas is from Texas and when you look at him you know it. He is passionate about his craft. His interests are high tech electronics for law enforcement, investigation and security. He is passionate about Native American culture and their heritage. He loves Jennifer Lopez and anything she sings. He’s a fan of The Rockford Files. old Westerns and American Idol. He is a fan of Clint Eastwood’s movies and, as one might suspect, a fan of James Bond and Mission Impossible. His favorite books include John Adams by David Mccullough (ArtChix likes anything Mr. Mccullough writes as well) and is somewhat of a scholar on the events surrounding the Kennedy Assassination. Ralph D. Thomas loves history and he loves his country. While he may not be fond of a particular president, he makes clear that his passion and respect for the institution of the Presdiency is far greater than any one man. Ralph D. Thomas is all-American. He’s about as American as American can get.
When you first meet Ralph Thomas, you are somewhat intimidated by the piercing eyes and the serious, “We’re comin’ to get ya” look on his face. He’s handsome, with his silver hair and Texas-cowboy style. One is drawn to him. You want to know him. You have to know him. But how does one do that? It is not as difficult as it appears. Thomas is lovable, funny and one of those people who will help anybody who is willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. He believes in dreams. The kind of dreams from which the “American Dream” is born. His faith in the founding principles of the country are as strong as any these days, if not stronger. And, quite simply, he loves people.

ArtChix Magazine Feature Story
A SPYMASTER MOMENT IN HISTORY FROM RALPH THOMAS
John F. Kennedy was swept into power by the narrowest of margins of any presidential campaign in America’s history at the time. A mere 100,000 votes separated the winner from the loser and many thought the election was stolen by hanky panky going on in South Texas and around Chicago Illinois. But faith and I believe a higher power put John Kennedy into the oval office and if he would have not been there during the crisis that was about to happen, the United States, Russia and the world as we know it might have very easily been destroyed with a nuclear war. I believe today that if it would not have been for President Kennedy, that would have likely occurred as you will see.

The
Private-Eye! Ralph Thomas's Second Home for Years!
There was a period
in time when Barbara Thomas had to drive out to the lake and talk
Ralph Thomas and his K-9 companion Checkers off the boat. Thomas set
the boat up as an office and
"worked" on it for a time. Sometimes he would be on-board
for weeks at a time.
