Great interview. Drawing is magic! Viewing the landscape is enlightening. Enjoying what you do is not work. Caring about what you do and spending the time to hone your craft is critical. Enjoy the ride! Thanks for sharing Walter! Take care my friend. -K

Would have been great to see some of his work - especially his draughting.

Shame WSJ didn't flash up a shot of one his hand crafted drawings as it is a lost art given way to AutoCAD. Congratulations on your your journey following in Frederik Law Olmsted's footsteps and all the positive impact you will have in land shaping and planting our future!!!

how? by selling timber and forest products to millionaires and billionaires

[@CHMichael]

Billionaires by timber? For what?

[@555Trout]

Who cares.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

You obviously do... otherwise you would not have made the effort to comment

[@donttalkcrap]

You obviously do....If you watched it all the way through. And if you didn't - then you are just plain ignorant by making a comment about something you know nothing about. Either way - you lose.

[@555Trout]
