Our recipient this year is Bill Walters. Bill is truly a
Brown County celebrity. In 1977 he was appointed
director of Indiana State Parks, receiving the Pugsley

Brown County celebrity. In 1977 he was appointed
director of Indiana State Parks, receiving the Pugsley
Medal in 1988 in recognition for his outstanding
contributions to the Indiana state parks system. While
living in Indianapolis, wife Ann needed some country and they bought a place on Hoover
Road in Brown County. In 1989 Bill was asked to come to Washington DC as Assistant
Director of the National Park Service, and at that time they began their interest in Habitat
for Humanity. Talent was later needed in the Pacific Northwest, and so Bill and Ann
headed to Seattle. During his stint as Deputy Region Director of NPS region, Senator
Patty Murray reported in the Congressional Record, “Bill represents park interests in a
way that has made partners out of adversaries. You can’t go very far in the Pacific
Northwest without seeing examples of Bill’s effective problem-solving sound stewardship.”
Retirement brought Bill and Ann back to their home in Brown County where Bill resumed
his involvement with Habitat. Bill has provided outstanding guidance as a member of the
Construction Committee team. His administrative and negotiating talents have proved to
be invaluable. Bill pursued a grant from Habitat International yielding nearly $17,000 in
softwood purchase reimbursements over the past two years. And this year he
persevered through paperwork and red tape to secure a $20,000 sponsorship from
Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers.
We are truly fortunate to have Bill Walters in this community and volunteering for Habitat
for Humanity and salute him as our 2010 Volunteer of the Year.
