So I got a message from Wally's widow (receiving a message from a deceased friend's Facebook account is a touch unsettling)...Apparently, it was his pill-popping mentally ill mother that had haunted him most in the years since we last spoke...
I remember him having to address his militant dad as sir...Having to assure Wally he'd be home on time...
I can't imagine how much shit was on his plate back then...& it feels now like everybody failed him...
Anyways...Drinks & hugs all around...
