"I've probably sent the Plaindealer as far away as anyone," he said Paul sent the McHenry Plaindealer to his son, Tom, who spent a McHenry winter at the South Pole - courtesy of Uncle Sam's Navy. . Paul Walkington was born on a farm in Volo, which has since become the Volo Museum. In 1987, the family moved to Ringwood, where his father resumed a farming way of life. In addition to forming, the elder Walkington also worked at tree spraying, whitewashing and, for a time, was an employee of Ringwood Chemical. More than many, Paul recalled the days when Ringwood was a thriving community, He recalled when Ringwood was the home of a bottling plant, a general store, a bank, a market, a garage, a barber shop, a drug store, a post office, a nursery, a stockyard, a feed and coal business, a lumber yard and a railroad depot "There were six passenger trains, two freights, and a milk run every day," Walkington said. "They're all gone now." Paul is employed in construction and recalled when he worked for Ivar Frederickson in Wonder Lake. ' Heavy rains in June of 1937 nearly destroyed the Wonder Lake dam. "We almost lost it then," He said. "I worked on it when it was repaired." He remembered when he was a boy and Route 31 was just being built. Almost all of the materials for the construction of the highway were brought in by rail and it was "quite a sight" to see the men unload the cars (by hand). MR. AND MRS.
