The following month, the col lege found it appropriate to expel Caldwell 3 credits short of graduating. Caldwell was taken into custody Feb. 15 by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department and placed under a 72-hour officer hold for mental evaluation. The hold was in response to threatening messages posted on his MySpace profile. Just short of a degree in law enforcement, he has now abandoned that goal on a possibly permanent basis. “1 have no idea what I’m doing,” he said.

ABOVE: A picture taken in 1957 shows Walton’s first car, a 1950 Ford that he bought Dec. 11, 1953. To this day, Walton remembers that the car had 33,512 miles, and he considers it his first “nice” car. He still owns it. ABOVE: Beginning work on one of his many projects, Walton takes a look at the inside of a fender many years ago. Several of Walton’s creations have begun with nothing more than a frame or a front end, sometimes even less than that.
