Walton said. ''It ranks right up there with being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Academic All-America Hall of Fame and being selected one of the NBA's 50 greatest basketball players of all time.'' I believe him. Nothing like being honored on different social fronts while maintaining respect from the others. My vote for the next inductee would be Bill Grahm or perhaps Bob Hunter.

GRATEFUL DEAD AND BILL WALTON TEAM UP FOR FUND RAISING POSTER AND T-SHIRT Working for the Dead wasn't just a job, it was an adventure. And even without the performing band, the folks at G.D. Productions have tried to keep that spirit flourishing. So when our wholesale manager, Russ Knudsen, came up with the idea for a Grateful Dead Hall of Honor, the band gave its blessing and we've jumped on it: The Grateful Dead Hall of Honor exists to honor people we think exemplify the right stuff, and we'll be selling T-shirts and posters toward that end, with all profits going to the Rex Foundation. Our first honoree is Bill Walton. It wasn't only that, as the tallest Dead Head, he was easy to spot. Bill Walton was probably the band's favorite Dead Head because the qualities he brought to basketball -- dedication, the team/ensemble concept, a sense of humor -- were exactly the virtues they applied to their music. So Bill was the, you'll pardon the expression, slam dunk unanimous choice for the first honoree. In pursuit of that, the Dead Hall of Honor has commissioned artwork from our esteemed friend Tim Truman to be available on T-shirts and posters to benefit Bill's and the Dead's favorite cause, the Rex Foundation, which supports environmental, social, and arts causes around the U.S. Three hundred first edition artist's proofs of the poster, signed by both Bill and Tim, will be available for $75, and 2000 posters signed by Bill will go for $30. T-shirts (M - XXL) will go for $20. It would be terrrrrible for any Dead Head or hoops fan to miss a great chance to support a worthy cause. Besides, Tim Truman's artwork is terrific.
