Frank Walker

I knew that I had missed someone when I sent my last email. He was probably the most well known in my early days. I had been trying to sell an intercom system to a Bay City Taxicab company and found that they really wanted two way radios. After considering modifying some military gear I realized they should have the current Motorola equipment. I contacted Motorola and Frank Walker came to Bay City and sold them a system and hired me to install them. Following that job he said there was a much larger system in Flint and suggested I do that job also. With the help of John Moll we installed some 30 or more units in Flint. In a later meeting with Frank Walker he did his best to hire me as a sales rep for Motorola. At the time I did not feel that I wanted to spend so much time away from home. What a difference it might have made in my career. Much later the sales rep Bob Mularky who lived in Midland was promoted to government sales following the retirement of Frank Walker. He had several other jobs at Motorola prior to taking that position.

Ron Anderson is my uncle. He was a businessman who owned a Motorola Service Station (MSS), and was my first real employer. I told Ron about the MSPRG site, and his first reply after looking at it indicated that he did not seem to remember as many people as he thought he should. A short time later, he sent this to me as a further memory. The reference to Bob Mularky is a sidelight concerning Frank Walker after retirement, but I was working for Ron during the time Mularky was a beginning Motorola salesman, and I knew him quite well. I did some tower work for him during that time. John Moll was another uncle of mine. I would have been quite young at the time this account about Frank Walker refers to, probably late 1940's to early 1950's.
