Hattie's was a certain amount and 1/2 and Clayt, added the other half to make the amount an even figure. [[strikethrough]] 
In the spring of 1929 the Company changed the name Advance Aircraft Company to the Waco Aircraft Company, & recapitalized, which meant another redivision of stock. W.E. Hutton, brokers, of New York and Cincinnati, expect to put the Waco Aircraft stock on the curb. Hattie Meyers Junkin with her son, George Charles Weaver, and her daughter, Janet Junkin, moved  to Toledo, Ohio, in the fall of 1929 to be near old friends of Chicago days -- the Christophers. During the months of Buck Weaver's illness the girls in this family were invaluable aid to Hattie. Mr. Christopher, being an attorney, very kindly aided Hattie in all legal matters. Little Buck is now ten. There is money enough to send him to a ranch where he will have excellent fathering and a horse that should make him 'hard as nails'. Parker Crawer has given him his first flying instruction. Little Janet, not quite three, has had much better home surroundings (and therefore health) than little Buck ever had. Hattie is finally having those pinao lessons that Sam all during his illness kept assuring her she would some day have, and Clayton is president of the Waco Aircraft Company continuing the work started many years ago by Youth, Courage, Enthusiasm and Determination. 
So, the wings of Waco gleam bright in the sun light and the intangible factors invested by bloodshed, disfigurement, tears and much laughter continue to show the 'cock-eyed' world the true to form performance of Waco.
