WINCHESTER — About a year before he died on March 13 at the age of 85, retired Winchester Treasurer Walter H. “Skeeter” Knee planted a maple tree with his favorite person in the world, grandson Benjamin Walter “Benji” Knee.
On Friday, that tree found a new home on the campus of NW Works, 3085 Shawnee Drive in Winchester, a nonprofit that provides paid and unpaid vocational training and jobs for physically and mentally disabled adults in the Winchester area. Benji Knee is a client of NW Works, and Skeeter Knee and his wife, Nancy, who died in 2011, were longtime supporters of the organization.
