Walter received the following letter from Walter R. Bullock on November 19, 1953.
Dear Walter: Your Xmas card and the short note have been on my desk for almost a year. Am still on the farm but have no cows or animals anymore. Am flying Stratocruisers to Seattle for Northwest still and guess I will until they retire me. Have enjoyed every minute of it. To show you how foolish one can get in his later years, I'm enclosing a picture of an airplane I built in 1947. You'll probably remember it as a copy of the one I had at Newport News. Happy days. Regards, Walter |

At the Curtiss School, the large hangar contained an almost unbelievable collection of experimental planes. Some were monoplanes, some triplanes, some were amphibious, and some shaped like actual birds. There were some early Curtiss pushers there too. One day, Early Bird Walter Bullock gave us a thrill by flying one of these which he had purchased. He didn't look too secure seated on the frail framework with a motor suspended behind him.
