Thank you for sharing this photo. The timing of my reading this post is totally weird. I actually had a dream about Walter last night (which I would have forgotten had I not read this!). It had something to do with me being at journalism school or working on a big news story - the details are gone, but I saw Walter in my dream plain as day - looking just as he did about the time he left CBS Evening News.
