unfortunately,i don't have my own computer here in london,so my time is limited.i have so enjoyed this thread,and would like to continue to add bits and bobs,but i really think the greater part of the story has been told enough in this kind of forum.forgive me,but like deckman,some of my memories are going to be left to myself.it may be selfish,but having come so late into walts' life..i treasure the time we had and need to hold it close.the mourning period isn't quite over...thank you all.
