It is great when the people you value get the recognition that they so richly deserve. Walt has acted as a mentor and been a friend to so many. I am proud that he was my first "boss" who I could turn to through the years on those unusual and unique corrosion problems. Thanks for the guidance, Walt. Congratulations!
