This is a tale of two brothers — Roland and Bill Walker — and this is the legacy of the Walker family of Orange Beach who traveled from the charter industry at the Gulf Coast to the orange and blue of the Plains. And now, they're giving back in both places. First up: brother Roland. This fisherman turned electrical engineer brought many good things to life for GE, and now he's doing the same for future Auburn engineers. So, pick up your rod and reels, bait your hook and get ready: this is the Sea Rebel.
