Point of Personal Privilege. Upon arriving at my 
first Alaskan Job with Alaska Methodist University in 1971 (i.e. now, APU), I was greeted warmly by a number of new friends.
One of those, was Walt Parker (NGP Photo, Circa. 2007), in whose company I spent hours discussing the future of Alaska, the relationship of Alaska's Constitutional principles to the state's prosperity, local land use planning in Anchorage, Alaska Native land claims and the importance of properly developing Alaska's natural resources.
It is, therefore, with sadness for loss of his presence on this earth but appreciation for having known him that I remember him in these pages, and offer heartfelt condolences to his accomplished daughter, Lisa, of whom he has been so immensely proud.
Mike Dunham at the Anchorage daily news has produced a marvelous synopsis of Walt's life, which may be found here.
