Tim

in the world by serving as a public informant and seeking
the truth—and continues to work by that guiding principle
today. His favorite assignment was breaking a series of
stories in Ashland, Mass. about one man's battle with cancer
and his quest to uncover the truth about a former manufacturer's
decades of hazardous waste dumping in town. Tim has a BA
from Fitchburg State College and attended the American Press
Institute. Tim lives in Brookfield with his wife, Danielle,
and their two sons, Timmy Jr. and Christopher. His pastimes

David
Henry
Freelance Photographer
David was born and raised in Chicopee and graduated
from Chicopee High. He was retired after a long career
with the Air Force and wondered what to do next. A friend
suggested he take his love of photography and do something
he would enjoy in his retirement. After a kind of unofficial
internship with Turley, where he learned as much as he
could as fast as he could, he became a regular for the
Turley papers. He then started a web site www.sweetdogphotos.com.
