  1. Wally’s great prowess as a speed skater was a great inspiration to me as I grew up just one block south of the Shuberts. Unfortunately I never achieved his level of capability by a long shot. I late was thrilled to learn Wally and my 2nd cousin once removed were married making us relatives by marriage. It is a great honor!
