 Includes NotesNotes for Frederick Walter "Walt" Sparks:
Known as "Walter." Called "Uncle Walt" by his nephews.
One time, Walter had to go into the hospital for an operation, and Mildred, being an R.N., felt obligated to tell the doctors that he was alcoholic, because she knew he would get the DTs and they would need to know. His wife was furious with her. --Lyn Grineff Sieffert
"My uncle Walt worked for a company in Meriden, Connecticut called New Departure Ball Bearings (a General Motors Corporation subsidiary) for most -- if not all -- of his working life. In fact, I think I recall my mother telling me long ago of his retirement -- or near retirement -- from them. For more info, you might wish to contact G.M. about New Departure and the retirees/ex-employees thereof. Somehow, I vaguely think I remember New Departure either changing its name, being bought by some other company --- or some sort of abrupt alteration like that. I also think I remember that (if it's true) such a switch may have had a negative impact on the lives of Uncle Walt and his family. Maybe, whatever it was, it may have happened just BEFORE he was due to retire." --Rich Genest
"Walter's last residence was in Meriden, up on what my Mom called 'Pill Hill' where the doctors resided. He, too, must have saved his GM Stock and had a more-than-comfortable retirement, with alcoholism." --Ken Genest
