Other than his success, I don’t know much about Walton. But years ago I taught in a Long Island Gold Coast school district. I taught the Graces, of W.R Grace fame, the Ronzoni kids, and several other financially upscale kids. Those kids were great, the parents top notch. The folks I had qualms about were those kids whose parents grew up on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn and never ever wanted to be reminded about that. I think of them whenever I see the haloed one.
I once did some work on the Santa Fe condo of a guy I later discovered was among the 10 richest men in America at the time. Great guy. Not a hint of condencion or superiority.
