Baumgart, Walter W.
13 Oct 1918 – 11 Feb 2014
Born in Forest Park, Illinois, Wally went to work for Western Electric
at the Hawthorne Works at the ripe age of fourteen. He served his
country in WWII from 1946-1948 and married his bride “Elly” two years
after being honorably discharged. Wally and Ellen lived in the Chicago
area until 1957 when Western Electric brought him to Omaha. He would
