Walter “Walt” Young
On August 4, 1995, Walt Young retired from the Los Angeles Unified School District having served the district’s students for over 31 years. Walt always had a smile on his face and offered words of encouragement to his fellow employees. In 1978, Walt met and married the love of his life, Marilyn, who also retired from LAUSD transportation.
Walt inspired many of us in transportation, mentoring, encouraging everyone to promote, and wrote superb references (they used to be called tracers in the day) for candidates. In the late 1970’s, Walt was selected to conduct the critical interviewing and hiring of hundreds of drivers for the district’s mandatory integration/desegregation effort.
Walt wore just about every hat within the department: Driver, Lead Driver (now known as Area Bus Supervisor), Dispatcher, Senior Dispatcher, Assistant Pupil Transportation Supervisor, Pupil Transportation Supervisor, Transportation Planner, and probably a few other positions as well.
Walt was the “go-to” person for challenging projects and difficult logistical “high visibility” transportation planning. Special projects Walt worked on included the Special Olympics, Teach for America summer training institutes, and, most notably, our country’s 200th birthday celebration with an extravaganza held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Walt developed and executed a plan that transported 100,000 LAUSD students representing EVERY school (approximately 650 schools in 1976) in the district for that event held in the evening.
Together, Walt and Marilyn were highly active members of the St. Cross Episcopal Church and served 20 years in various leadership capacities. If you would like to donate in Walt’s honor and memory, please address your donation to the St. Cross Episcopal Church – Youth Pilgrimage, 1818 Monterey Boulevard, Hermosa Beach, California 90254. Walt will be forever missed - - but never forgotten.
Prayers are being asked for our brother Kevin Simon who just lost his brother Elliot Simon. Reach out to him as he mourns the passing of his dear brother. May he rest with the angels.
