Born in 1926, I was named John, but they call me Jack. My parents Ralph and Annie Walter lived at Noradjuha where I spent my formative years. In 1942 I joined the Victorian Public Service. From 1945 to 1947 I served in the RAAF with the British Occupation Force in Japan. Starting out as a cash van salesman in Melbourne I held marketing and general management positions with food companies in Sydney and Adelaide.
Elaine and I were married in 1950 and have three children, Gaylia, Christopher and Craig, 4 grandsons and 4 great grandchildren. In 1973 I assisted Elaine and our family members to establish, develop and operate our ladies fashion business, Walter Kristensen. In 1993 we retired to the Sunshine Coast where we established and operated 2 plant nurseries. In 2011 we built a house and made our home at Tewantin, near Noosa where we now enjoy visits and news from our family members and from our friends. We enjoy our garden and in my spare time I enjoy researching family history.
