My friend sent an email this past week while we were on vacation and I found a newslink. Just wanted to share about our friend Tim from Lambertville. It is very sad and tragic. He was great guy and one of the nicest people we met during our time trying to make friends in the small town. I got to see him everyday in the coffee shop that I worked in and he always gave us seasonal tours of his beautifully landscaped yard. And of course he was around for the night life, we could get drinks at the Hawk, which is where he was last seen, a block from our old apartment.
