FORWARD
I have not known Tim Fernandes for a long time; we first met in a Christian bookstore some 6 years ago. It was easy to remember him since we both share the same first name. Over time we continued to bump into each other at various school Christmas concerts, Kindergarten promotions, and through local youth sports programs.
