USF's Walker Has Chance To Do Some Good Brett McMurphy's well-written article about Walter Walker standing up to remove the 'N' word from the locker room has moved me to suggest a real opportunity to do some good in the community is at hand ('USF's Walker Tackles Use Of N-Word In Locker Room,' Oct. 17).

He is working toward realizing a very Kingly dream. MARK T. ANDERSON Lutz ...more
