At 88, Don Walker may be Minnesota's oldest working auctioneer, reflecting on a 70-year career that began after he enrolled in an auctioneering school in 1955. Born and raised in southern Minnesota, Walker has auctioned a wide range of items, from coin collections to antique crocks. Despite needing a wheelchair, he still conducts auctions annually for local Christian organizations. His career insights are documented in his book, "The Auctioneer: A Time for Tears, Fun, and Foolishness."
