Dear Ericka. I just came across Walt´s obit and am sending much belated condolences. Though we haven´t seen you guys in many years, I sometimes think of Walt-his funny remarks, good nature, and sweet spirit. He was a good guy and a great Indian Princess dad. He was an unforgettable character, in the very best way. God bless you and the girls.
