After convincing me to join the 501st Legion, Walter has been very instrumental in helping me build my TK. Upon purchasing it, I took my kit to scheduled armor builds at his house. There were usually several people there building their own TKs each at different stages of construction. Walter had been working individually with all of us teaching us how to measure, build and make adjustments to our own suits. In turn, we gain confidence not only to work on our personal projects, but helping each other. Since I was the newest attendee, I got plenty of help from the guys Walter mentored. Upon finishing my TK, I was quickly approved into the 501st and with Walter's continued help, I quickly gained EIB and Centurion status. His patience, skill, leadership and knowledge, deserve accolade and much recognition.
