Thread and Silence
Harbor Lane Hardware, Caldmere
Walt Huang, the 74-year-old owner of Harbor Lane Hardware, was found dead in his back office Tuesday morning. His death looked, at first glance, like a man who had simply sat down and not gotten up.
Everyone has something to hide.
36. Married Walt's son David, who works offshore six months a year. Sharp, underestimated, quietly furious about being stuck in a hardware store in a town she married into.
A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
The night shift belongs to Aggie. Twenty-eight years at St. Clair. She runs the floor with absolute authority and a dry humor that softens nothing.
