Charles Thomas "Tom" Walker, my great-grandfather, outside the family meat market in Tahoe City, California, about 1918 (left). Tom eventually became a rancher like his father, Frank Xavier "X" Walker. In a 1930's biography, Tom was described as having "a keen interest in public affairs, but in politics maintains an independent attitude, voting for the best men, regardless of party lines. He is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Native Sons of the Golden West." On the right, he's with his second child, John Franklin "Bud" Walker, in 1948.
