Gary,
The Lifetime Achievement category for inclusion can certainly be debated as too subjective, but I can go along with an individual who overcame adversity and is an example of personal success from hard work and perseverance like Walters. A story that inspires is worthy. I like Peggy Kirk Bell's inclusion.
I'm more interested in the conflict of interest issue with HOF'ers voting on who's to be amongst their future peers... but not real interested.
