In November 1957, he, his wife and their first-born daughter migrated to Philadelphia, PA where he went to work for the Philadelphia Housing Authority. His name was changed from Wallie to Walter during that time. Walter and Helen’s family was growing, so Walter studied very hard to become a Building Engineer for the School District of Philadelphia.

Walter decided to retire from the school board, after 30 years of faithful service, and he returned home to his beloved Green Pond, SC in 2005.
