LINDA WALKER RECEIVES PEOPLE MAGAZINE AWARD

Pequot Lakes woman Linda Walker was recognized last week with one of People Magazine's 'Heroes Among Us' awards at a ceremony in Beverly Hills. Linda was recognized as one of the founding members of the Surviving Parents Coalition, an organization that seeks to empower parents of children who were abducted and sexually assaulted and works toward legislation and prevention efforts. Linda helped convince Senator Byron Dorgan and Representative Earl Pomeroy to introduce the National Sexual Offenders Database, now signed into law as Dru's Law. Linda's daughter Dru was kidnapped and killed four years ago.
