Walter Kowalski also worked for Robert Long, both full and part time, starting back in the late 1960's. He also stayed on after Long's retirement in 1980. He, too, helped out in various aspects of the park, but his main role was on the merry-go-round. Walter has also been an integral park of the Eldridge Park renaissance since the inception of the Society, serving in the capacities of both general volunteer as well as current Board Member.
