Where is Mike?

We’ve noticed flyers posted all over town by Tara McKenzie looking for a good samaritan named Mike.

According the the flyer Tara was in a car accident on Bear Creek Road near Byington Winery and Mike provided assistance. Tara would like to find Mike to “thank” him and also to see if he will make a bystander witness statement. The weird thing is that this accident occurred in August of 2007.

We shudder to think. Happy 60th from all of us at the Boulder Creek Insider.
