Walker was listed as a Freshman @ UVM in 1922. Page 208 Vol.XIX Number 6, The Vermont Bulletin, Mar 1922
Later on he served as a US Customs Patrol Inspector at a small crossing between Vermont and Canada. I remember visiting but don't know the town where he lived and served. He died in Berkshire VT which is right on the Canadian border and I remember the sense that the actual border was right by his house.

I only met him a very few times because at the time he was working as a border agent in Northern VT at the Canadien border. To me he seemed very stern and not very friendly but there was one time when he and his second wife Phyllis visited our family. I was probably only 7 or so and was sick. He went grocery shopping with my father and came back to give me a little windup submarine toy. Not only did I love the submarine, but the idea that he'd bought it for me.
