Just the other day I framed the first dollar we made at The Split Rail Country Market. Maybe framing isn't the right word, more like laminated it with an ad we ran in the Morgan County Press announcing the grand opening. Before I laminated the dollar and ad, I wrote, "Wally K" under it since I didn't know how to spell Wally's last name. He always told me it was Polish and too long for me to know, spell or even pronounce.
I know now since Wally was in a car accident last week and I saw his name in the paper.
I also know what that first dollar means to me since I just got a call saying Wally died tonight from injuries brought on by the accident.
Thank you for that dollar Walter, you'll be missed.
