“Yes, Judge Van Tighem,”
There's a real guy. He wrote a story about my second novel, way back in 2005, when he was a reporter in Walla Walla, WA. His name was Gregory Van Tighem. And I said, I'm going to use your name one day. And I did. And he saw it and he emailed me: "there are 4 Van Tighems in the world, so you must have remembered to use my name."
