I'm told by a current professor of family law that having sex with a student should have been the legal basis for the teacher's dismissal in 1987. In other words, Walker should have been fired. But the expert tells me this didn't occur very often, and we know it didn't happen in this case. It was common just to move teachers.

My questions and freedom of information requests to the school board have provided no answers. As I've mentioned before, the board says no records exist. The music teacher moved to another school within the same board, but Ali says rumors continue to swirl.

The European trip, that's the one our diary keeper Jackie Short told us about. It's when she reported Walker to an administrator on a boat trip in Germany.

After he moved to the next school, he still taught music, led the band. But he would not be the head of the music department there. That was his demotion.

That spring, Jackie was away at university. She had graduated five years before, but she heard the music teacher was heading to another school. The news was spreading on the alumni grapevine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Anne-Marie, you did something too. These women all did something. You came to me.

And if you hadn't come to me, none of us would be here. That's true. This club wouldn't exist without Anne-Marie. They wouldn't all be together sharing their truths. But why did officials never tie any of these stories together? There are three women in this room who went to authorities when he was still teaching. Jackie told an administrator in 1982. Nothing was done.

Ali told senior administrators in 1987. He moved to another school. Jeannie, JM, went to police about 10 years later. Anne-Marie quotes from Jeannie's police file in the late 1990s from memory. She's recalling information police obtained from the school board.

That means Jackie's 1982 complaint wasn't heeded or documented. Nor was Ali's 1987 report to a principal and a school board superintendent.
