Texas Star bridge renamed after former councilman
Former longtime Euless councilman Glenn Walker loves golf, and on Thursday the bridge on the 18th hole at Texas Star Golf Course will be dedicated in his name.
Walker served on the council for 21 years and has given countless hours in service.
The Glenn Walker Bridge dedication is at 6 p.m. at Texas Star, 1400 Texas Star Parkway, Euless.
“I'm thrilled to death to be recognized by the city in any shape, form or fashion,” Walker told the Star-Telegram in October. "I love Euless, and it will be my home as long as I'm alive. Anything they do for me is a gift from God, and I'm grateful.”
While serving as a member of the council from 1975 to 1990 and from 1993 to 1999, he was on the Euless Non-Profit Industrial Development Authority, charter review committee, the economic development advisory board, Trinity River Authority and the half-cent sales tax education committee. Since leaving office he has served on the historical preservation committee.
