During the week,

their friends
constantly prayed
and read to the

a spark of
recognition from
the comatose young •

Turpen called Shaun "a class act
in every possible way. He's an ex-
ceptional young man — very quiet
and mild-mannered and a very com-
passionate and caring person."
Turpen, the former attorney gen-
eral whom Walters defeated in a
Democratic runoff for governor in
1986, said he was with the family
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
and hope continues strong for a re-
covery.
"We continue to believe that be-
cause his heart rate is so strong and
his body is fighting so hard to re-
cover that there's still a good chance
that he's going to be OK — that
everything's going to be all right,"
he said.
The hospitalization is the latest
in a scries of events that have hit
the Walters family this year, includ-
ing a federal investigation of David
Walters that began after accusations
by a fired tourism director.
The FBI probe and a subsequent
federal grand jury investigation of
campaign activities by the governor
dragged on for about seven months.
At one point, Walters labeled the
investigation as "water torture."
Earlier this month, federal prose-
cutors announced there was insuffi-
cient evidence to warrant any
charges being filed in the case,

which centered on allegations that
Walters promised jobs for contribu-
tions and did not report all cash
contributions. The case was handed
to Attorney General Susan Loving.
The governor said he had been
vindicated.
Walters had maintained he did
nothing wrong throughout and
scoffed at news reports on the in-
vestigation, including one that 100
FBI agents were involved.
Bill Crain, Walters press secre-
tary, said the ordeal paled in com-
parison with what the family is
now experiencing. "There's just
nothing that really compares with
this in anyone's life.
"Both the governor and the first
lady arc holding up remarkably
well, given what could only be de-
scribed as the most difficult circum-
stances. They arc actually probably
helping the rest of us in the way
they arc handling this."
Walters' voice cracked with emo-
tion as he spoke publicly early in
the week at the hospital. He said he
and his wife wanted to "thank you
and to ask you for your prayers.”
