U
ncle Walter was an adopted member of the Roedde family. He had an unsual family history. His mother died when he was born and his father, who was a musician, was so upset he left when Walter was a baby. Grandmother took Walter in as one of her family. When he got older, Walter worked in the family business along with Uncle Bill and Uncle Gus until World War 1 came along, then he and Uncle Bill left to serve overseas.
I do not remember much of Uncle Walter. Walter was a machinist, a very clever mechanic. He could do anything with his hands. |
