    3. Hi I havent been able to find my scanned copy of that yet, but mine is the Walter Watson.....hes not buried there.He's buried out in Oak Grove. It is my understanding that U of w Fl has the legal papers concerning all that. Em sheppard and condon I THINK was the newport lawyers..... The date of the blast would be the date walter died....he died right away. Actually he was out of the first blast where he was working and was safe, but saw it going to anothre building. He went in to warn those to leave, adn didn't make it back out. My granma identified his body because of a TOE that was missing....only way she knew it wsa him. I will find the scanned copies on a floppy or get another copy scanned.have all that in my filing cabinet somewhere :( pat
