Thomas F. Yezerski: Hi. My name is Thomas F. Yezerski. The F is for Francis because my parents didn't give me a middle name when I was born so I chose Francis when I was 11 years old. Francis was my favorite saint because he loved animals and peace. I still use the F because my dad and Pap Pap were also named Thomas. Yezerski is an American version of a Polish name that was probably pronounced Yezierski in Poland. I think it means by the lake.
