"Walker, MN, was all of 941 people" -- at some 1,600 students, my high school was almost twice as big. The town outside the base in Germany where I was stationed -- Wildflecken -- could not have been much larger than Walker at the time. The base itself was an old SS camp -- you could still see the eagle on the pedestal at the base entrance (the army had long since shot off the swastika, but the eagle looked sufficiently American that they left it standing.) Wildflecken had one bar and one restaurant; the base was many times larger in terms of population than the town.
