Timothy was consulting for a local restaurant/beer & wine shop in Kensington, MD. Lynne was a local and came in with her housemate to request a case of Samual Adams' 26.2 beer. (She was training for the Marine Corp Marathon at the time.) Timothy took the opportunity to tease her about her poor choice in beverage; however, he immediately knew that he would marry Lynne one day. There was a delay in that quest when Lynne teased Timothy about a certain striped sweater he would occasionally wear to work. Fortunately, they moved past the incident and started dating after Tim hinted at wanting a fascinator (MadAboutHatz on Etsy!) to take with him to his niece's upcoming wedding. Shortly after that, Lynne showed up at Astrolab Brewing (Tim's other job) with a fascinator in hand! That was July of 2019, and the rest-as they say-is history!
