After receiving the honor of being inducted into one of his former high school’s Hall of Fame, two more distinguished honors have come down Wally’s path.

Wally took his sophomore and junior years at Aberdeen Central High in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1976 through 1978. He was inducted into the Aberdeen Central Hall of Fame in an induction ceremony in early October. Now word has come down that Wally is being inducted into the Washington High School Hall of Distinction in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

It’s a thrill for Wally to be inducted in the same company of Dave “Captain 11” Dedrick, a local kid’s show host whose show Wally never missed as a child. And David Soul, HUTCH from “Starsky & Hutch!”

In April of 2015, Wally was inducted into the South Dakota Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his years of work as a radio DJ, and helping to promote rock and roll all over South Dakota.
