My Take on the Book
Dr. Dana E. Walton wrote this lovely story in memory of her father Robert Lee Walton Jr. He was known as Bo John. It is quite evident that Bo John was loved and respected by the people of the community in which he lived and worked.

It is a heartwarming story. It illustrated the importance one person can make in the lives of his family, friends, and his community.As I read the story , I wished I could have met this man while he lived. He certainly epitomized, through his daughter's written word, a man of kindness, commitment , and joy.
