She's the daughter of the late John Dwyer, another stalwart of the Northwest folk scene.

Thanks for the info.
Since I am one of the few children that actually carry his name, I was curious if she was a half sister. We do know that other children were fathered by Walt while he was married to our mother, so he might have been a good singer, actor, whatever, and, good at fathering children, but he was definately not a good father. Just because someone is a good singer doesn't make them a good person.

Yes, I think most people who knew him well were aware that he did have his "dark side." As do a lot of people, one way or another.

Don and Amos have it right--I never met Walt, sorry to say. I've enjoyed reading the stories in this thread.

(The anniversary of Dad's death was yesterday; near as we can tell he died late in the evening on Nov. 11). Kind of sad around here to have those holidays fall on a day like this. Mom died six months later, on Memorial Day.

Something happened ... we're missing a recent post?

I suspect a guest post was removed because there was no moniker attached. Was it valid, do you think, or a prank? You can ask if it can be returned, if it was useful.

I'm guessing that it was trouble looking for a place to happen and someone wisely removed it! bob(deckman)nelson
