Robert had a rare gift as an educator.

Upon being elected by the people to be our Superintendent of Schools, he catapultaed our entire school district into the Age of Technology. It was magnificent to witness the spectacular effectiveness of this Pioneer. His kind and generous Spirit brought the best out of everyone. I look at what has happened to our Children, Teachers, Parents and Citizens since he left office; and it is sickening. One nightmare after another has followed this truly great man. Our Students and Country suffered enormously with Mr. Walker's departure. He was a Leader and a Giant of a Man. I was grateful to have had the opportunity to stand in his shadow. Love To You Always, My Dear Friend.
