Germans like St. Thomas Roasters' java

The morning crew that meets on the porch at St. Thomas Roasters in Linglestown informed me that visiting engineers working for TE Connectivity, formerly Tyco, are gaga for Java Geoff's brew.

"German coffee is top-notch stuff," said honorary Linglestown Mayor George Kunkle, "so to get a ringing endorsement from Germans is saying something."

The engineers said they're packing some beans away to take home to their homeland.

Frank Cotolo

In other news about the coffee house, entertainer extraordinaire Frank Cotolo of Grantville will be the featured musical entertainer Friday night (Aug. 10) from 8-10 pm, free admission.

Those who know Frank are taking bets on how many songs he'll sing the whole way through. My money is on three.
