    His many contributions to the governmental & political scenes will be greatly missed.

    By coincidence, thoughts today about the current Michigan context and governor reminded me of a summer internship in Gov. Romney’s office . Before that internship Walt did his best to introduce me to political science while he taught at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. My own career and interests started in his classroom. He was insightful, kind and gracious. My sympathy to his family.
