In 1960 , Walker moved to Valdez , Alaska , where he worked as a home builder . Once the 1964 Alaska earthquake struck the area , Walker switched his focus to the reconstruction of the city . He was elected to the Valdez city council during the rebuilding efforts and the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipeline through the region . His last major Valdez construction project was the former Village Inn Motel , which is now the Mountain Sky Hotel and Suites
