I knew she was "old Defuniak money" and if I'm not mistaken, Ed Walline Park is named after someone in her family. Father or grandfather maybe? Little or no history on how that Park came by it's name and I'm not old enough to remember that far back...Danny Glidewell was born and raised here...he may know? The Campbells are also old Defuniak and have a rich and sorted history and there are a bunch of "good ole boys" in both those mixes.
Mr. Ed Walline was one of the original developers of South Walton County and built many of the beach houses so prevalent in the 1950's and 60's. He may have donated the land that the current park sits on but I am not sure about that.
