An Ode - To Our Truck Dispatcher - Camp McClellan, Alabama
Corporal Johnnie Walker

AN ODE – TO OUR TRUCK DISPATCHER


	For be it from me to let this article be published without adding a few 
words in behalf of another important personage – namely, our most able Truck 
Dispatcher – Corporal Johnnie Walker.  Even tho’ his sojourn in the Sunny South 
has only been of about eight months duration he has added greatly to the 
personnel of the Sub-Depot Quartermaster’s staff and judging from the 
affectionate attitude of his co-workers tow him it is thought that he spent his 
entire career within the bounds of Camp McClellan he could not have endeared 
himself to them more.  His popularity reaches beyond the limits of the Q. M. 
Detachment and Truck Companies, and even unto the Western Union Reservation – by 
the employees thereof he is adored.  He has proven himself indispensable to the 
United State Government by the competent way in which he handles various trucks 
of indefinite denomination and it is with grief in our hearts that we think of 
him ever being discharged.  Another commendable feature of the aforementioned 
gentleman, as well as soldier, is his amiable disposition and thereby is shed an 
atmosphere of radiance which is equaled only by his angelic smile.  When his 
duties at this camp are completed and he is taken from our midst to enlighten 
another vicinity we sincerely trust that he can accomplish, as much good and 
improve the general conditions of the world to such an extent that his glory 
will extend not only in the state of Alabama and Oregon but over the face of the 
whole earth.
