Introducing Walt

Walt Brown has been the husband of Susan for the past forty years, father of two sons, Jason (Penny) and Chad (Clara) and grandfather to four, Alex, Levi, Noah and Celena. Walt retired as an Elementary School Principal, and is now a fast talking Auctioneer employed by Wilson Harvey Auction Group.

Walt and Sue have lived in the Springfield, Ohio area for the past seventeen and one half years, attending the same church all that time. I met Walt, after beginning to attend the same church and he brought me into the group. Walt plays Mandolin and sings bass, harmony and lead for HomeBound. He's been involved in some type of music since he was eight years old, taking up the Mandolin at age fifty-five. He's living proof; you 'can' teach an old dog some new tricks.

Walt was raised in Gallia County, near the village of Vinton, Ohio. He attended Rio Grande College (University now) and Ohio State University. He worked in the field of education for thirty years and has the scars to prove it. He counts it a privilege to be a part of HomeBound and hopes he can use the talent God has given to him, to serve God through Bluegrass Gospel music.

Walt has also written a couple of the songs we sing and we're proud to sing and play with him.
