My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Walter Masson. I had the pleasure of getting to know Walter when he came to Westford house. I enjoyed the talks with him and the walks we took down the hallways together. He was an intellegent, funny and sweet person. No matter what kind of day he was having, he never failed to ask me how I was doing or how my family was. I will always remember him espically when I look at the Dragonfly picture hanging on my wall!! Sincerely, Elaine
