Tim Lee
Comments Editor
In midlife, Tim Lee (a business analyst in a past life) discerned a calling to be a writer and embarked on a quixotic quest to develop a universal symbolic script that captures the poetry of words in the sound of silence. He is also a granddad, comments editor and busybody commenter with "relevance, courage and a twinkle in the eye" on his coat of arms.
