I am so sorry to hear about Jo Anne. Shelby and I always enjoyed stopping by the house , getting oranges and just spending time with Walter and Jo Anne. Walter and I flew together at Florida Airlines many years ago and he was definately the best pilot I had the pleasure of flying with. You all have suffered a great loss and our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
