I'm guessing that the Walters' isn't exactly a direct reflection of your work as I think I understand that some things have been changed from your design. Thoughts? Greg Newell P.S. I might even get him to consider a rebuild if it was able to be ready and could pass as something the donating committee might consider unique or noteworthy.
