Judy, we just heard about Walts passing and I am sorry I couldn't be there,but you have our thoughts and prayers to strengthen you during these difficult days. After spending 30 years with Walt at the St.Paul Co's and the fun 2 years we had helping to put together an Insurance Co. in Seattle Walt was my most favorite person and I will miss having the chance to see you and Walt. I'll call after a little time has gone by to talk with you.
