Jimmy, not familiar with Wally Gore. But I did a quick search of Google's News Archives. There are several old news clippings from the Fredericksburg VA paper - the Free Lance-Star.

Go to http://news.google.com/newspapers , enter "wally gore" in the Google News search field, and search the archive. Will return the old newspaper articles vs. just what may otherwise be available on the web. Hope that helps.
