Walter GerwingA resident of Kendall, Walter has made a difference and a significant contribution to his community for many years. Walter's wife Elvera, who was a teacher for many years, began losing her sight, and she and Walter became very involved with the visually impaired as well as the blind. Walter is responsible today for producing the Senior Sampler, a local publication for seniors in Monroe County, to make it available on audio tape. Walter is also the Vice-President of a local senior citizens organization in Kendall, where he is very active. In addition, he volunteers for Monroe County Senior Services delivering meals to people who are homebound three to five days per week. "I like to help people all that I can," Walter stated, "It makes me feel good." Last updated: August 1, 1997
