When he started on his selling career in this area, he relates, “I went to Vernonia with a pocket full of business cards, slipping them under windshield wipers around town, beginning a relationship with the town that still main tains.” Initially he stocked his lot with cars on consignment, with no charge to the client unless he sold the car. He still does that, and on the same terms but, with the acquisition of a partner,Tamer Kekhia as buyer and salesman, they keep their lot stocked with a greater variety in a broader price range, including vans and trucks. The cardinal principle in this career for Walsh has been integrity in dealing with clients. He wants people to know that when they come to Cornelius Auto Sales, they will get an honest and fair deal. “We eliminate all the razz-ma-tazz that people fre quently complain about,” he says. Walsh became a car deal er after tiring of a lifetime ca reer as an entertainer, begin ning at four years old, per forming as a tap-dancer and singer. When he was in the third grade he was tapped as a member of an upscale bu gle corps known as “The Golden Nine”, though their rules required members to have completed eighth grade. Twenty years of this career was spent as a studio musi cian for RCA, a position re quiring great musical versatil ity. Asked how many instru ments he had been required to master, he replied "Eigh teen.” Through the years Walsh Troy W.
