The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 23, 1989 1 1 Walsh twins head their separate ways By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer After spending their years in public school and college to- gether, as well as the greater part of their summers, Joseph and James Walsh, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Walsh of Dallas, parted last Sunday for at least the next three years. Joseph left Sunday morning for Berlin, West Germany where he will be stationed for the next three years, after training in Fort Benning, Georgia. The twins graduated together from Dallas Senior High School, then both attended Edinboro University and graduated in May, 1988. Following Edinboro, the brothers spent the summer to- gether, then Joseph entered the U.S. Army and trained for six months in Airborne, Ranger and Impoc school. Jim, after earning his degree in criminal justice, went into the master’s degree program in organization com- munication for a semester at Edinboro, then took off a semes- ter to pursue law school and took a job as a guard at the county prison for six months. Joe, graduated from Edinboro with a degree in elementary edu- cation and was an honor stu- dent. When he entered college In 1984 he became a member of the R.O.T.C. and thus, was able to attend college on a scholar- ship. Jim recently received word that he has been accepted at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan for Sep- tember, 1990. He considers himself very fortunate, since there were 2,000 applicants for only 200 openings. With Joe having gone to Berlin for the next three years, Jim plans to work at Villa Roma where he worked when in high school until he starts college next year. While Joe was training at Fort Benning, and Jim was between jobs he decided to take a bicycle trip to Nova Scotia and covered 1100 miles. It took him 11 days to make the trip; six days to reach Portland, Maine on his bike, four days touring Nova Scotia, and the remainder of" time on the ship to and from Portland and Nova Scotia. When he returned to Portland from Nova Scotia, Jim flew home to be back before Joe left for Ger- many. When Joe returns from Ger- many, he plans to work toward his master’s degree in Early Childhood Development. While in Germany he plans to take video photos of all the countries he is able to visit and use them for teaching when he returns to the States. While the two brothers were in high school Joe was the ath- lete and Jim was the bike rider. Jim, while in Edinboro rode his bike home while Joe put his bike on the car and drove home. But, Joe hopes that while he is in Germany he will be able to purchase a mountain bike and tour the country. While in Ber- lin, he would like to have an op- portunity to visit Russia and see what it is like. The Walsh family had a fam- ily gathering last weekend to bid Joe ‘farewell. The twins enjoyed the one last time they would all be together for three PARTING FOR AWHILE - Twin brothers Joseph and James Walsh, who have been together throughout public school and col- lege, parted recently for three years.
