Warfield

JOHN E. WARFIELD, 83, retired Vice President of the former Equitable Trust Bank, died of lung cancer Saturday, May 28, 2005. Born in Baltimore, his mother persuaded him in 1940 to apply for a position in banking. After starting as a runner, he retired in 1985 as Regional Vice President with 45 years of service. Mr. Warfield was drafted in 1942 into the U.S. Air Corps, serving in the South Pacific for four years. After retiring, he took up decoy carving and won ribbons at the Timonium State Fair and Catonsville Senior Center.

I would like to expand on my comments about the Warfield neighborhood traffic outlook presented at the April 12th meeting of the Planning Board hearing and reported in your April 19 edition. The Town Center Village Board, which represents Warfield residents, expressed concerns that while adding 800 residential units and new retail stores, the Howard Hughes Corporation plan approved by the Planning Board actually reduces the number of travel lanes on Mall Ring Road in the vicinity of the AMC Theater, from the number recommended in the original Downtown Design Guidelines.

It's a story that simply won't go away. It's an upper-class soap opera, and even after the passage of 75 years it still packs a sentimental punch and draws a willing audience into the glittering world of the British aristocracy. It is the saga of England's Edward VIII (he reigned for less than a year and was never crowned), who found it simply impossible to continue with his royal responsibilities without the love of an ambitious commoner from Baltimore, Wallis Warfield Simpson, the Belle of Biddle Street, who was determined to bag a royal and crash her way into the upper strata of British society.

Baltimore County, state and military officials gathered at the Warfield Air National Guard Base at Martin State Airport in Middle River on Wednesday to break ground for a much-needed fire station.

"You deserve all the resources you need to train for whatever your call of duty," said U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger.

A new fire station officially opened Thursday at the Warfield Air National Guard Base in Middle River that will serve the military installation and nearby communities in eastern Baltimore County. The new station sits on a base that is home to the 1,500 members of the Guard's 175th Wing, but firefighters at the $7 million facility were battling a blaze at a home in Wilson Point most of Wednesday night and recently assisted county crews with an overturned tanker truck just outside its Eastern Avenue gate.

Warfield, a psychologist who as associate director of Baltimore Neighborhoods Inc. became an outspoken advocate for fair housing, died Oct. 21 of liver cancer at the Broadmead retirement community in Cockeysville. The former longtime Towson resident was 86. The daughter of a lawyer and a homemaker, Dickens Waddell was born in Detroit, and later moved with her family to Pittsburgh, where she attended what is now Carnegie Mellon University for two years.

SYKESVILLE - Town of Sykesville officials, county elected officials and members of the Warfield Cultural and Commerce Center board cut the ribbon on Oct. 6 for new "gateway" signs along Route 32 at the Warfield complex.

In the eyes of anyone who loves railroading, Norman L. Warfield Sr., a retired Amtrak locomotive engineer, was a lucky man. During his lifetime, he got to play with real locomotives and diminutive ones. Warfield, who had celebrated his 70th birthday in January, died less than a month later of cancer in Baltimore. The Baltimore native, who was raised in Hampden and graduated from Polytechnic Institute, became an apprentice tool and die maker and worked at his trade in machine shops in Maryland and New Jersey.
