Tribute to Collin Waltner

I think most of you who read this know Collin Waltner, originally from Freeman, SD. I just have to say that while I was reading an article about the National Enquirer in Newsweek I could not help but think of Collin (and I say this with the utmost admiration and respect for him). In the following quote, just replace "uncle" with whatever Collin is to you:

"Think of the Enquirer as the media establishment's rogue uncle who likes to throw back a few at family reunions and then regale realtives with tacky, delicious stories of debatable veracity. He isn't entirely assimilated into polite company, but then you can't stop listening to him, either. The tabloid's arrival in our nation's newsrooms is eagerly greeted witha combination of admiration, disgust and envy."

I read this and instantly thought, "Collin is the Enquirer."
