Tim
Krueger brings everything
together. No, not like
a builder, more like
a puzzle putter-togetherer
(we talked to our editor,
and he allowed that
word). He takes hundreds
of ads every month and
makes them into magazines.
We sometimes think he’s
more like a magician.
Tim came to COLE way
back in 1986. He’s
forgotten more than
most of us know, or
does he know more than
we’ve forgotten,
I forget.
