Arlene - I was so sorry to hear of Pastor Wally's passing while I was away on vacation. Pastor Wally was of course the first pastor when Lloyd and I joined Messiah in the early 1990s, and he and you both won over our hearts, as did the people at Messiah. Having come from a German background, Lloyd and I were rather uninitiated into the Lutheran Scandinavian heritage. As Rob mentions below, his Uff Da license plate was a mystery to us when we first arrived at Messiah! We had transferred to Messiah from St. Luke in Silver Spring, so it was rather ironic that Pastor Wally ended up being one of St. Luke's pastors after he left Messiah. I always heard wonderful things about him from the people I was still in touch with at St. Luke while he was there! Love and hugs! Alma Edgerly
