She was named as the Outstanding Civil and Environmental Engineering Student of the Year, graduated summa cum laude and has begun graduate school. And that was just in her spare time.

Last week, we heard from Roland Walker of the famed Walkers of Orange Beach. This week, hear the other side of the story, as brother Bill sets the record straight on what Roland got wrong. Bill’s blood runs Auburn colors, from Orange Beach to the Navy. This commander was forged by the sea, and now he’s full speed ahead.

This is a tale of two brothers — Roland and Bill Walker — and this is the legacy of the Walker family of Orange Beach who traveled from the charter industry at the Gulf Coast to the orange and blue of the Plains. And now, they’re giving back in both places. 

First up: brother Roland. This fisherman turned electrical engineer brought many good things to life for GE, and now he’s doing the same for future Auburn engineers. 

So, pick up your rod and reels, bait your hook and get ready: this is the Sea Rebel.
