Here’s a sketch Steve created on his Apple iPad. I was across the aisle so I’d watch him pepper in some sketching here and there off an initial “spotting” of the Singapore Airlines flight attendant in their signature flight attendant uniforms…

So here’s the image he sketched….

Never met Walmer, never knew of him and now I can say after exchanging some emails and being blessed with a gift from him he’s a solid guy. Walmers a fan of life, a husband and a father. Walmer sounds pretty much like me! It’s amazing how people can run concurrent lives but if you take a look around stir up a conversation you’ll see that there’s people that exist that share the some hobbies, passions and zest for life that you do, just be approachable, honest and sincere and your actions and good things/people will approach you…
I sound a bit like a fortune cookie, but regardless Walmer sent me a package that consisted of the following pieces…….Thanks Walmer, we’ll get up sooner than later, can’t wait to share a beer with ya!

Walmer’s Director or Marketing for the Fresno Grizzlies the Triple AAA minor league baseball team for the SF Giants
