Austin Walker: podcast appearances and interviews

Austin Walker (January 5, 1883 – October 31, 1945) served as the mayor of Boise, Idaho. He first assumed the role in February 1942 as acting mayor when the incumbent, H. W. Whillock, was serving as a United States Navy officer during World War II. Walker was formally appointed mayor after Whillock's resignation in May 1942 and was subsequently elected to the position in 1943. During his tenure, he held office until his death in October 1945. Following his death, Sam S. Griffin succeeded him as mayor. Walker's service coincided with a period of wartime shifts in local government leadership.
