Here is my response to the original White Family Query. Carroll in Snohomish ----- Original Message ----- From: Carroll Clark To: WASNOHOM-L@rootsweb.com Cc: mapleheights@marion.net Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 9:06 AM Subject: WHITE FAMILY FYI: Dear Patsy - I am happy to say that I can help you. I am a personal friend of Homer, Warren, Alpha, and Bob. Homer White was a man to be proud of - a "go getter" who was very well liked in Snohomish. He was a businessman, an entrepreneur type - nimble, a fun person whom my family ( Herb Ness of Snohomish "Mr. Baseball"). Homer had several restaurants in Snohomish. My wife who worked in Everett knew him when he'd come in to have paperwork done for his work. Homer would be a great person to be related to. His son Warren I knew but not as well as the others. I knew/know Alpha, his dau. - she & her husb. live less than a mile from me and we greet one another often - most often at the grocery store. In fact I waved to her husband, Herb Hammons just yesterday as he was coming out of the local store. I knew Herb and Alpha back in high school when they were going together as sweethearts. Top notch people. Herb very active in baseball and other sports at good ole Snohomish High. Then I was in classes with Robert L. BISNETT from Central Grade School, Snohomish and we have always been close friends. We meet ever so often to exchange memories of past ( girls, et al !). Bob hasn't changed a bit - he ages well and he's about my age 79 going on 80!. Bob lives in North part of Seattle and South of Lynnwood. He was a teacher, and a good one! So, you see you have hit the Jackpot by the posting to WASNOH. Now, I'd like to know where your LIVE, what you Surname is and a bit about you which you can send to me personally e-mail. I think you will have made the connection you seek. I will show your query to Alpha and any other info you send me and you folks can trade info to your hearts desire. I am so happy that I can help you make contact with some of the Whites who are alive and are desc. of Homer a most honorable person in Snohomish. The Snohomish Historical Society should have a good file on file re Homer White who was very well known and honored among our village. Homer White knew EARL AVERILL, our honored Baseball Hall of Famer whose HONOR has been neglected by our Snohomish Historical Society and City of Snohomish for some time now by people who should know the history of Snohomish by digging for it rather than putting their whole efforts toward restoring old houses as their main FOCUS. I realize that these are not the most Friendly words, but TRUTH WILL OUT! I hope someday that this community will finally come to grips and honor one of the persons who has put S n o h o m i s h on the Maps by his efforts, and expertise. Who will be the "first" to acknowledge this? Carroll in Snohomish, "Resident Ruminator". P.S. Gungey Avenue D. is finally getting some Attention - long overdue!!!! * * * 30 * * *
