Earl and Louise Walls have been such generous, wonderful neighbors on Palomar Mountain. As many of you know, Louise recently had knee surgery. A week ago today on October 18th, Earl was on his way to the hospital to pick her up. Dear Earl was critically injured in a ‘hit and run’ accident.
Sadly, the doctors report that he has broken vertebrae and is now a quadriplegic. Earl also isn’t able to speak. He can nod his head yes and no. There are no visitors at this time. On a phone call today, Louise, and Linda Fortney, Earl’s daughter, asked me to tell you that they “appreciate so much the love and prayers pouring down from the mountain”.
Earl is an American Patriot. Many of us are on his email pass-around list – he loves this country! He defended our freedom in World War II. So, it was very important to Earl to be able to vote in this election. Louise wanted me to let you all know that Earl has voted! They went through his ballot, Earl nodded yes or no, they marked his ballot accordingly, and his vote will be counted.
Earl and Weezie love to travel, the pictures are from a trip that Earl planned in 2006 and we got to tag along. Click for an album showing some of the fun times we had exploring Arizona and New Mexico. As an engineer, Earl had us hoppin’ to pack every adventure in our tight schedule and make it back two and a half weeks later, just in time for a PMPO Board Meeting.
I did a search on Palomar Mountain News for these two fine folks. Here is just a peek of the Walls’ contribution to Palomar and us all:
