Dr. Larry Walker – Serious About Service

Larry Walker and challenger Barry Tweedie spoke at the Tate Band Boosters political rally, August first. Don Parker served as person-in-charge, with Bobby Gindl operating a strict five-minute timer.

Larry enjoyed reminding Don Parker and some in the audience of an audacious performance by Don as emcee of a Tate rally in 1992. The reminder produced a look of somewhat pained amusement on Don’s face.

Larry used his full five minutes to talk about the past and future of the ECUA, but said his loudest applause came when he mentioned that, because he taught at the University of Alabama in the days of Bear Bryant, his blood runs “Alabama crimson” in football season.

Thanks to the Tate band boosters for the opportunity to talk!
