Holy cow, I've wondered my entire life if there was another person on the planet with the first name Walker, and here it is.

May this great American rest in peace. :salute:

Thanks Obio, he had a very interesting career, sad to hear of his passing, but at 91 he lived a very long and productive life, that's for sure. I must start looking around for his memoirs mentioned in the article, I bet they is be a facinating read.

Sadly, no. The toughest fictional character in the world didn't have the irony of being named after his future job.

First name: Cordell Last name: Walker

Hence: Walker, Texas Ranger The comma denotes that Walker is the last name.
