A Conversation with Wally Walker
Our occasional series of conversations with Grinnell’s faculty emeriti turns to Wally Walker, the “negotiator for three presidents.”
Also:
Meet a group of students who play quidditch just like Harry Potter — well, except for the flying-on-brooms part. Find out what one senior is thinking as he graduates into a world in the midst of an economic downturn unlike anything most of us have ever seen before, and learn how the legalization of same-sex marriage in Iowa is affecting a few Grinnellians.
Check out our Pioneer Profiles in the Classnotes section, where you’ll meet: Rima Suqi ’87, who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and once at the summit, donned a pair of chic stilettos; Ian Roberts ’87, a comedy improv standout who is a part of Reno 911 on Comedy Central; and Katherine Smith ’49, whose Milwaukee apartment served as a set for Johnny Depp’s new movie, Public Enemies.
