Johnny's here, there — and everywhereAT CONVENTION TIME, John E. Walker is everywhere. He’s up early to attend the people breakfast. He’s up late at the dinner dance. He’s there when the resolutions are approved. He makes sure he sees everything that goes on. So much so, that when he needs to get a better view, he takes along a trademark small stepladder on which he climbs to get a little higher.
The reason for his involvement: Walker is the official photographer for Council 2 conventions. The Seattle photographer has taken pictures for Council 2 at every biennial convention since 1989. Walker took all the convention pictures in this issue —except, of course, the one of him that accompanies this story. "He was originally referred to us by a well-known individual in the newspaper business," says Chris Dugovich, Council 2 President and Executive Director. "John has been a wonderful source not only of good pictures, but of good entertainment as well." Walker, 66, began his career as a photographer in 1965 after he had been disabled two years before in a helicopter accident and he was forced to take leave from the Navy. Above all, Walker says he enjoys meeting the delegates at Council 2 conventions. "The people make a big difference," he says. "Not just those on the podium, but everyone. "They are good, well-intentioned people who are there for business, but also know how to enjoy themselves. "If I did not enjoy it, too, I would not get up on the ladder." |
