Ahhhhh....... you know a little about the "Sugar". Yes, I do but I was 
named for my father who was named for an uncle and while people assume 
that "Walker" was a family surname at some point in our ancestory, it 
has always been a given name. IOW, there are no Walker families in our past.

If you ever visit the Smithsonian and have a chance to browse their 
archives, ask to see the photographs of Walker R. Smith. My father has 
as many as120 photographs in their files, many taken with a Model A and 
Model IIIa Leica. I'm in several of them myself.
