The Orange County Historical Society: Publications: "Remembering", by Frank S. Walker, Jr. (500 words) |
 | Frank Walker has combined a love of history with a lifetime of living and working in the Orange County area to produce a comprehensive and well-received county history. |
| He was the fourth generation of Walkers to live at Rosni, the dairy farm that had been in the family since it was purchased in 1805 from the heirs of Francis Madison, brother of the President. |
| Walker was educated at Woodberry Forest, Virginia Tech (BS in agronomy) and the University of Virginia (MBA and JD). |
| Frank Seward Walker (2354 words) |
| Frank's Uncle Norman, a feature reporter on the El Paso Herald, was doing a series of stories on the famous outlaw, Pancho Villa, and there were stories of a hurried trip out of Mexico because Pancho was on the rampage. |
| As for Frank's early years, we do know that he wore glasses for awhile around the age of seven, that he started his lifelong hobby of stamp collecting around that age, and that he was the ringbearer in the wedding of his Uncle Fred Seward to Dorothy Hopper in Bloomington in 1914. |
| Frank was photographed in the act of being a matador (Karen was the bull), Jon was pictured lying on the carpet with a bright red bow on his nose, and Frank was found "watering," or "hosing down" the bushes in the front yard. |
