Editing Walt Garrick (section)

===Relationships===
Wanted Avery to marry into the family.<ref>“Is there a chance something could happen in that direction later?” Walt asked.<br><br>''If you have a Finder cousin of Jude’s who’s a girl or woman?'' Avery thought.  “Slim, if I’m being honest.  Very slim.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/31 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.9]]</ref>

Had a gay brother who he likely resents for leaving the family.<ref>“My uncle,” Cliff said.  “Brother of Walt and my dad.  He was gay.  Might still be, I don’t know.”<br>[...]<br>“Because… I dunno.  But he did something similar to you walking over here.  Except he didn’t go down to the other side of a train car.  He traveled halfway across the world.  Took what he thought was his share.  Except he didn’t have kids.  My dad, uncle Walt, they did, they had to supply their new Finders.  Me, I was old enough to be underway.  But- he took a third.  When there were three of them, seven or eight of us kids.  He took a third.”<br><br>“Maybe he thought it’s what he’d end up with if he’d had the chance to have kids?  Or he had kids later, he wanted to make sure they got what they deserved?”<br><br>Cliff sighed heavily.  “People died.  Kids went in with less equipment and stuff.  My cousins, nephews.  Dex.  When they died, sure enough, conversation would go to my uncle.  If they’d just had one more item, one more book on practice to study, would they have made it?  Peter and I, we were old enough to be around when he left, see the aftermath.  See the casualties.  Guy turns out to be gay, deceives us-” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/02/let-slip-20-1/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip 20.1]]</ref>
