This isn't the sort of thing I would normally say, as I don't believe it's anybody's business, but I don't suppose it has escaped anyone's attention that Detective Hoffman has been struggling for some time with The Drink. He's making strides to overcome this, and I truly believe that he will, but not without difficulty. That is why I do turn to those of you who count him as a friend, and ask that you show him support in any way that you might during this time. And also that no one give him alcohol. I would like to say I don't believe he would ask for it, but it is an addiction that can test even the strongest of men. And thank you, in advance.
