HUME FOGG TECH CLASS OF '68 |

How many lives he changed no one will ever know. But he did change mine. When I first came to Mr.
Walker's printing class in my junior year he noticed a very introverted young boy who had little confidence in himself. He took that young boy and made him believe.
He gave that young boy confidence, brought him out of his foreign introverted state and gave him the tools to proceed in life. He was a father figure that I never had. He made a difference, one that lasts to this very day. What success I achieved in the social world is largely due to Mr Walker's intervention.
And I was not the only student he influenced. There were so many others for whom he made a real difference.
He taught us to be color blind. He taught us to be real. He taught us to be good citizens.
He was a guilding light at a time when life was a dark path to no where. His memory will never leave us. We shall never forget this wonderful teacher and the positive influence he made in our lives.
