Waitsburg--A Little Bit Of History

I found this in my phone.  I must have snapped it after eating at the "Whoop em Up" in Waitsburg.  My Grandpa and his brother, Uncle Dave owned the Waitsburg Welding Works, along with their main business, B. Barer And Sons at 11 N. 4th in Walla Walla.  I remember fondly riding along with my Dad on trips to Waitsburg, a charming little town about 20 miles north of Walla Walla.  My Grandpa and Uncle Dave would later sell the welding company to the manager.

My Dad has just wrapped up a series on my Grandfather Barer and Uncle Dave's purchase of Waitsburg Welding Works, a 20 some year venture that culminated in selling it to the foreman in the mid 1960s or so. The story was excellently written and brought back lots of memories. The picture above is Main Street of Waitsburg, WA, about 20 minutes east of Walla Walla.
