Personal Notes:
Wally and Eddie's great grandma Vera Lane was born and raised in Vermont. As the daughter of a preacher during the 1910's and 20's, Vera was a rebel. She and a girlfriend rode their bicycles across the US to California when she was just 19! Eventually she settled down and married a chemist, William Lyman. Their son Phil moved to Colorado in the late 70s to study aerospace engineering and eventually work for Ball. Phil is Wally and Eddie's grandpa.
