Mr. Walkington, who observed his eighiy-third birthday anniversary Dec. 8, became interested inTthe hobby following a heart attack, when his activities,, were confined. The fact that he chose painting was probably due to the fact that his grandson, Jay Walkington, had done considerable art work during his high school days. The octogenarian has infinite patience as he works with magnifying glass to perfect his works, which are done with the assistance of the art numbering system. He has given many of the paintings to members of his family and friends.
