John was such a quiet, unassuming fellow that it was years after meeting him that I realized he was a member of the Wal-Mart clan. ___________________________ Brian added: He was a very unassuming fellow....very nice person. I met him on several occassions at the Annapolis Fall BoatShow. I was rolling out our FireFly trimaran at the time, and had hopes of trailing on the successes I anticipated for a fellow like Walton to be involved with the multihull market. I just ran into a couple of financial hurtles getting started, the last being too much for my pocket book. I believe he continued to own a larger cruising cat after he got out of the smaller vessels?? Anyone know details??
