Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: Williams, Walter Edward
Contributed by Diane Williams Gantt
Walter grew up in Anadarko, Oklahoma, marrying his grade-school sweetheart, Patricia Irene Tonkinson. Self-educated in the areas of highway and bridge engineering, he once discovered mastodon fossils during the building of I-40. His vocation then turned to nursing home administration and he is now a self-employed businessman who's most recent ventures include chemical consulting and operating a landscaping/nursery business with his wife. His rumbling bass voice has been heard in many community productions and church choirs. Frequent involvement in local public planning has also been an interest. He is the father of two daughters, Debbie W. Riddle and Diane W. Gantt.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
