  2. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I've been a longtime fan of the 501st Legion and have been friends with a lot of members for as long as I can remember.

    When I was seriously contemplating on (finally) joining and building my first costume, I serendipitously met Walter in Anaheim.  Through that random engagement, Walter promised to help me out if in case I decide to join.  Easy said, right?

     

    Almost a year later, with an armor kit in tow, I contacted Walter through Jay (Drumstrooper), lo and behold, he remembered me and he remembered his promise to help.  I was impressed.  This is a man of his words!

    Walter was one of my key consults when I was building my TK.  I was privileged enough to attend one of his famous workshop sessions and got my building confidence propped.

    Even though I worked on my kit in my garage,  it never felt like I was alone in the process.  Walter, like Tony or Jay, were just either one text, call, or FB messenger away. 

    When I was 99% done with my kit, I hit a crucial snag in my build.  Walter unselfishly welcomed me to his home, a workday, in the evening til about 2 in the morning.  That evening, I finished my kit. 

     

    Walter is the epitome of the mantra "troopers helping fellow troopers."

    His unselfishness is a bright light in the Legion and one that needs to be intensified.

     

    Thanks Walter.
