The following information was provided by George Kopek:

After graduating from SHS, Wally attended the U of Michigan and graduated with honors.  After graduating, Wally applied and was accepted into law school. Unfortunately, before starting law school, he and two friends were killed in an auto accident while traveling on the Pennsylvania turnpike on their way to Washington DC (I believe he was going to join others to protest against the Viet Nam war -- HB).  The accident occurred on April 24th 1971.

 

Thanks for thinking of Wally and I hope that you have a successful 50  year reunion.
