IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME around the Smart Table without our good friend Ersal Walker. Mr. Walker died Saturday. He was one of our family here and we always looked forward to seeing him and talking to him. He had a good sense of humor and I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. He would always try to get everyone to slow down and have a cup of coffee and a bit of conversation, because he felt that people were more important than anything else.
