It is with regret that I report the loss of Kenneth Walkup.  He died last night 
after being disabled for a few years due to strokes.  He was a faithful member 
of the Nashville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society,  having 
served as the immediate past Treasurer of NTOS.  He assisted with all the NTOS 
seasonal bird counts for many years in the Warner Park section.   He was 
faithful even on a Christmas bird count morning when it was minus 9 degrees, 
remembering, "They do the Christmas counts in Canada when it is a lot colder 
than this".  His late wife Sarah had led the Warner Park bird counts for a few 
years.  They had together enjoyed many birding trips across the country and 
internationally.  Kenneth was a Navy veteran of World War II.  He had no 
children.  He graduated from Vanderbilt University in law and accounting and 
spent most of his career as a CPA in the Business Office of the Metro Nashville 
Board of Education.   After his retirement, he traveled extensively, eventually 
visiting all seven continents, including Antarctica.  He had been the church 
Treasurer at Antioch United Methodist Church for over 25 years and taught an 
adult Sunday School class there for many years.  He was an intellectual, a 
gentleman, a Christian, and a lover of birds.
