I've met Walter Years ago at the Pomona Gunshow. What a humble nice guy he was signing Autographs at a table. I asked if he charged for the signings and I remembered his suprised annoyed look. No he said as he signed a photo for me (I still have it). He was genuinely suprised when I told him what an honor it was to meet him. I saw him years later also at the Chino Airshow what a nice guy.

Walter is feature in the CHG's parade entry quite frequently at the Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade.

This morning while visiting the home of Dave Ehlers, I got to see and handle Walt's helmet(liner). How KOOOL is that?
