List three things people may not know about you.
- I was born right here at the medical center.
- I’m a BIG sports fan; I cheer for the North Carolina Tar heels basketball team – religiously.

34 years!! Wow! 🙂
Larry Walker. What can I say? Always goes beyond the call of duty. Sees the big picture of what is trying to be accomplished. Team player.
Never asks why! But rather why not!
My pleasure to work with you.

Larry was the first person I met when I started at UNMC 14 years ago. He was waiting at my work station to get me set up on my first day of work. He's an absolute pro and a pleasure to work with. I'm just surprised he's been here 34 years – I didn't realize he started working when he was in kindergarten!
Always such a BIG help! Thanks Larry for all you do.
