Dear Beverly and family, My prayerful sympathy upon learning of Walt's death. As an AMC member and East of the River (EOR) hiker I often often hiked along with Walt and truly enjoyed our many conversations. Bev you joined us on a number of hikes and you were equally enjoyable to be with. In fact, I recall a cook out at your lake house that was so relaxing and beautiful in its simplicity. Many times our EOR hikers have wondered about the whereabouts of Walt because he was such a kind, thoughtful and faithful hiker. Now we know, thanks to David's communication to us. By the way, I believe that David was a student of mine at WCSU. When your dad spoke of you attending WCSU and a successful music teacher, it was music to my ears. As I recall, you look very much like your dad with an equally pleasant personality. My prayerful sympathy to all of you on the death of Walt. And, may you be consoled with many fond memories of him, a gentleman to his core. Prayerful sympathy, Sister Mary Friel, SND
