MikeK: Ace Epitomized Civic Leader

Re: Amidee "Ace" Walder, 103, community leader, R.I.P. (includes Hucks Online Q-&-A with Ace 3 years ago, after birthday No. 100.

Ace Walden: Ace Walden was Coeur d'Alene. A fine man and a fine example of a good community benefactor - in all ways. I cherish the fact that I had the chance to meet and get to know both he and Louise Shadduck even in the limited way that I did. They are both irreplaceable people but their legacies are cemented in this community forever.

Question: Feel free to post your fond remembrances of Ace Walden under this thread.
