  1. John Walton, RIP (Georgs Kolesnikovs)

    I met John when I bought an early F27 from Corsair marine.  We went
    on some Corsair cruises together, and it wan't until years later I realized
    his ties with Wal-Mart.  He was that unassuming, and the Corsair employees
    never talked about his wealth.  In fact, I was told he started as a
    cropduster in Arizona, learned fiberglassing and started Corsair.  Our lives
    were sadly connected when shortly after a cruise to Mexico, both of our
    sons, then aged 3, were stricken with serious diseases.  I know John will
    live on in Lucas, as he will in everyone who knew him.
