It's not the same person, walt does not live in delware he lives in gaithersburg there are 4 men by the same name in the white pages so it is not this walt, he was not born in 1916 I don't think -----Original Message----- From: RobJon2@aol.com [mailto:RobJon2@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 12:19 PM To: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] Walt Warnick Dear Lois, Like you, I never met Walt in person, but felt as if he were a close friend. In fact, a few years back, I sent Walt a photo of the Kempton school that he put on the Garrett Co website. He was helpful and supportive. When I found my family in a census and the Warnicks were neighbors, I emailed Walt and asked if it were his family.. sure enough our family had been neighbors for many years. This reinforces a message a few days back about the Northern Lights (which I don't see in California) and the true meaning and importance of "genealogy"... we honor the memory and love of people we have never met, who live thousands of miles away or lived decades before us, but who will be remembered with fondness and gratitude.

I see we can have as much trouble sorting out the living as the gone to the great beyond. I am glad to see this was as Sam Clemens would have put it a report of someone's death greatly exaggerated. I did have a thought that kept hitting me with every message. When I worked at the public library from 1985 to 1995 we had a customer I thought was probably a retired professor of American history. We always called him up when we got questions about the symbolism of civil war/military sculptures and monuments. He could tell you anything like what it meant if the horse had ? feet off the ground. I had already worked as a law librarian for 7 years and one day I was suggesting someone who had called me about a criminal statute might consider throwing themself upon the mercy of the court. Our history expert patron walked up to my desk and complimented my knowledge of street law. He said he had heard me over the years answer questions on law while he was at a nearby table and told ! me he was actually a retired vice cop. He told me for decades he was undercover in a tough part of Cleveland, OH. His job was to go to a crime ridden area dressed as a derelict and sloshed in alcohol, and just lay around on the sidewalk looking out of it, but observing drug dealers, hookers, you name it. This really blew my mind!!!!! But I digress. Our non professor patron's real love as you can tell was Civil War history. He was writing a fiction book about it and all the research we had helped him with was how he worked on learning details to use in his writing. One year he said his book was 380 pages long and he had submitted it to several book publishers. Later I learned he was turned down. He had been told he didn't have enough color and detail. A couple years later he told me he had expanded his book to 900 pages by adding historical detail and he had again been turned down. The last time I talked to him he said he was looking at 2 vanity publishers and that 2 doctors at ! the hospital he was working at on night security were interested in helping him publish his book. A few weeks later I heard Jack died. We really didn't know much about him except that he lived in one rented room in the house of a neice. We wondered after that what ever happened to all Jack's work, all his papers, manuscript, research files. From what we heard there really wasn't anyone in the family who took interest in his passion for history and writing. We all hoped his stuff wasn't just ditched. I guess that's where all the sharing we can do now really comes in. I have really been appreciating all the help people on the Garrett and Preston lists have been sending my way with my research and I am trying to get out as much as I have that could help others. And so salut as my 10 million French Canadian cousins would say (I think they would use an accent mark though) to everyone who is not only finding information but preserving it by sharing. Do it while you can!
