Walter is a real Star in my book too Margaret, I've actually had the pleasure of meeting him on a couple of occasions and his wealth of knowledge is phenomenal, the data he showed me was unbelievable, how he has the patience to do all that research, especially at his age is beyond me. Okay he's a bit abrasive at times, but that's nout you want see the ding dong we have on another Web Site
