He received his Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1988. Mr. Waltar returned to Seattle and attended law school at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. The school was acquired by Seattle University during the three years of his attendance. That means he has two Juris Doctorate diplomas for the price of one—from the University of Puget Sound and Seattle University School of Law..
