Ellie,
I was away visiting my oldest daughter and granddaughters. Upon returning home I picked up the past days newspapers. I was so saddened to read about Walt's passing. I know what you are going through. Tears will subside and smiles will return to you. No doubt he and Ed are talking in heaven's "faculty room". Once an educator always an educator. Again my sincerest sympathy to you and Walt's family.

Mr. Buda, as I remember him, taught me to drive when I was a student at Lake-Lehman High School. He was a good, calm teacher, and I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Sorry to learn about Walter. Although Marie and I will be unable to attend the viewing and funeral as we are in Puerto Rico for the winter, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many fond memories of Walter extending back to my teaching days at Lake Lehman. A great guy!!
