Williams, Walter Banks (with picture)
April 30^th, 1912 - September 28^th, 1974
The family of the late W.B. Williams is seeking your assistance in reclaiming some of our family history. Our father was born in St. John's to Mary and Walter Williams of 80 Circular Road, St. John's, Newfoundland. Walter and Mary operated a china shop on Duckworth Street, where City Hall stands today. If anyone has a picture of The Little Crockery Shop, we would love to hear from you. Walter, Jr. attended Bishop Field College, he had a brother Gordon and a sister Phyllis. Walter later went to Boston where he studied at the Radio Training School. We would like to hear from descendants of Walter McCoubrey of Boston, Massachusetts, who met and entertained Walter during his stay there, during the early 1930's. Walter returned to St. John's in 1932, and began to set up radio station VOCM, with his father and brother in the family home. His life's work was devoted to radio, travelling to Marystown, Gander, Grand Falls and Corner Brook, setting up and maintaining the various radio stations across the island. We would like to hear from friends, relatives, acquaintances and co-workers who would be willing to share their memories, stories and pictures with us. Write us at P.O. Box 1504, Manuels, Newfoundland, A1W 1E5.
