WALKERS BECOME
NOMEITES
“Mr. Walker, if you please, in
stead of Sarg‘.” says Burl D.,
Walker, as he strutted down the
streets of Nome in civilian garb
Saturday after serving Uncle Sam
since April, 1941.
Formerly Master Sergeant with
the Army Transport Service lo
cally, and with the same service I
at Kodiak since September 13,1
1941, Burl’s home town is Spen
cer, West Virginia, but he’s not
going back for the Army has been
both educational and generously
kind to him. Not only has he en
joyed his “stretch of service,” but
had it not been for his being in
the Army and at Kodiak he would
not have met the “swellest girl in
the world,” also meployed there as
a civilian clerk. She was Miss
Yvonne Albert of Kalispell, Mon
tana, but on November 4, 194V
she became Mrs. Walker and
when he was transferred to Nome
for the current navigation season,
she requested transfer also and is
now employed here.
The Walkers were fortunate in
obtaining a residence in Nome and
in getting his Alaskan discharge,!
he went on record to state “W*
plan on being Alaskans always.”
