I knew Wally from college before I, too, went to 'nam. He was always such a fun-loving guy. He is missed. Best, Mel Young.

Our friendship was brief, but not forgotten.


Always
Shorty

I'll never forget the fun we had at EJC. I especially remember the day you sat me on top of the brick pillar that held the coat racks in New Main. And right behind you stood Dean Stucker! He just smiled and said "Walter, I think you'd better get her down." Everyone there got a good laugh from that. But then, you were always bringing laughter to everyone! I'll never forget you, Wally, and how nice you were and how much fun! I've thought of you often over the years. From 1964-65 Jean M.
