The Reverend Mr.Brooks Walker seems to have brought a breath of fresh air as interim minister to GPUC. He was respected and appreciated and did his job well. He was a good manager and recognized that "interim is what I do, what I enjoy". He told the Rev. John Corrado jokingly, that his avocation was the ministry and his vocation was music. He enjoyed learning to play a wide variety of instruments, and one surviving order of service from May 4, 1986 features Walker playing the autoharp and referencing his great grandmother, Peggy Kelly Walker.
