CAPT Walter H Reese met his wife, Mary Margaret McNeal, in 1942 when they were seniors at Buchanan High School, the year before Walt joined the Navy. Shortly after Walt got his wings, he and Mary were married on 23 June 1946 in Buchanan, Michigan and began their 30 year adventure with the Navy. They were married for almost 72 years.

Walt and Mary traveled widely, and often. Travels took them to all corners of the United States and to many countries and continents. Walt brought a “can do” attitude to everything he ever did, Milton High School NJROTC instructor, Navy League, Blackwater River Clean-up, Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce, and Mary was there every step of the way, in countless ways to create an environment where Walt, their family, and their adopted family of the students from the NJROTC unit could succeed. She and Walt helped to start Pace Presbyterian Church. Mary was the first woman to be nominated as a Life Member of the Pace Presbyterian Women of the Church. Mary and Walt hosted choral members and other travelers from other countries over the years. There was always an open room in their house and in their hearts. Mary was a member of the Milton Garden Club for many years, winning prizes for her floral design and arranging, as well as contributing to the beauty of the Milton community.

There is so much more to be said about the lives these remarkable people lived. If you didn’t know them, we hope that this event will lead Mary and Walt into your hearts, as it did to ours.
