Default Extract First Letter from each word in a Text String

I have a single cell formatted as text into which a variety of information
might be entered. What I want to do is extract the first letter of each word
into another cell.

Examples:
A1 A2
Basalt Regional Library BRL
Carbondale Rural Fire Protection District CRFPD
Williams Residence WR
