"I remember when we would go to the Gustine Festa of our lady of Miracles, and we had gone to the dance there at the festa , and someone asked me to dance with them and when i came back from dancing walter said I am going to tell Paul on you... Ha. Ha.Ha he was teasing me. the first time I me t walter was when Maria intruced him to us at the Monterey Holy Ghost festa in July, said they met for the first time at a festa at the dance. he always had a great sence of humor, when we would come and visit them, he knew I always called his wife Fatinha, he always joked about that.... we are very lucky to have known walter as long as we did.....
