Stanley T. Walker

Stanley Theodore Walker (July 23, 1922 – June 3, 2013)[1] was an American non-commissioned officer and Olympic biathlete.

Walker was born in Peabody, Massachusetts and learned skiing in his native New England hills.

[2] In the end of 1942, he was drafted from Lynn, Massachusetts to the 86th Regiment of the 10th Mountain Division in Camp Hale, where he became ski instructor.

The U.S. military patrol squad was led by first lieutenant Donald Weihs, who broke his ski after the team completed more than three-fourths of the 21,5 miles course.

Until his retirement in December 1963, he was also first sergeant in Augsburg (Germany) and advisor to Reserve unit in Chicago.
