Who is/was Wally?

I’ve only been on the boards six months or so, and I keep seeing references to Wally. He seems to have been very well-thought-of, and people seem to miss him.

But he was before my time.

Can anyone fill me in on this SDMB patriarch?

So a search on “WallyM7” and read up on his posts, BW. I strongly recommend everything he wrote. I don’t have any threads handy off the top of my head, though I’m sure someone does.

Wally was a really great guy. I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to meet him, wd. He was my friend, and I miss him a lot.

He left us with 3124 posts. Which might help explain a couple sigs.

Opal has a nice tribute page set up here: http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/wally.adp
