Walker

[Patrick Goggin <gogginpd@email.uc.edu>]

Joe,
	Once again, I wanted to personally thank you for your intelligent
and passionate defense of Walker, a player that I feel will define our next
great era.  I wish there were more on our list and especially in the Fleet
Center that appreciated our captain as much as he deserves.  I also wish
Antoine himself could read such support for him in the community.
