I found out yesterday that Walter Deed passed away on December 16. I don't know the details other than he had been battling cancer for awhile. Anyone who has ever set foot in the UNT editing lab or NTTV knew Walt. For me, he was the one person I knew I could go to if I wanted someone to bullshit with, if I had a really stupid question I was too embarrased to ask anyone else, or if I was just having trouble in the lab. I can't even begin to count the number of times he bailed me out of all the stupid editing mistakes I made over the years.My 2007 trifecta is now complete:
First, it was Carter. Then, it was Lori. Now, it's Walt.

From another UNT/RTVF alumni:
Tell me this is a joke. If it isnt, man this sucks, he was the one guy I could count on to give me a good answer to a stupid problem. He never told me to take a hike and was always there just to bullshit with when I had the rare down time. He was the one guy there that seemed to care about where we ended up once we graduated. He will be missed. Hope his trifecta mates have good coffee for him.
Thanks for letting me know.
