Origin

In the summer of 1978 the Forest Service logged Section 34 which included a patch called No-Name Woods. In March of 1979 this slope was christened Walter’s Woods because it contained about as many trees as there are hairs on Walter Little’s head. ^nw

History

1978

One extra special Saturday night program was the dedication banquet for Walter’s Woods with Master of Ceremonies Lee Helser cleverly spicing the evening and a film on Walter Little shown by Bob Bentler. A huge cake shaped like a bald head contained a hidden cavity which was opened to reveal Walter’s thoughts in the form of sayings on heart-shaped candies. ^ma78

A very important change to the Meany vicinity was made in the summer of 1978 when the Forest Service logged Section 34 which included “Henrietta’s Woods” and “No-Name-Woods.” These areas are now known as “Henrietta’s Meadow” and “Walter’s Woods.” ^ma78
