Tim's Great Uncle Tom Kempton and Madeline's Dad met through work in the early eighties and have been the best of friends ever since. Tom Kempton (TK) introduced the two of us with the below email, and the rest is history.

Maddie and Tim:

It was unfortunate that we couldn’t get together a couple of weeks ago. And as you might expect, the Virus scares us older folks.

So this correspondence will provide the introduction of Maddie Michaels to Tim Walker, two young people who I admire. I call it “good people” and you both are at the head of the list. I hope you can meet and get to know each other. Tim, Maddie lives in OTR, a short walk from Zula. Maddie, Tim is a former resident of OTR who bought a home in Mt. Lookout.

PS – Maddie, the Spartans had better show up Saturday so Ohio State qualifies for the championship. That being said, if they play against OSU like they did vs. Northwestern, it will be a great game.
