SALT LAKE - The governor of Utah was unable to make a special Martin Door event, honoring the visit of Chinese Secretary Dr. Deng Wei gen, so company officials took the event to Gov. Olene Walker.

Dr. Deng brought a special gift to give Gov. Olene Walker during his brief visit to Utah, but Gov. Walker's schedule was filled with responsibilities for the day in a special legislative session. Dr. Deng left the gift with David O. Martin and asked him to deliver it to the governor in his behalf. That meeting took place on May 4, when Mr. Dave Martin, chairman of Martin Door, and Dr. Keith Martin, International Sales Director for Martin Doors, visited Gov. Walker to make the presentation.

There was a bit of irony to the visit with the governor. Gov. Walker was not the only visible figure that beckoned photo requests.

The governor’s aide, Robin Thomas, took photos of the Martins with Gov. Walker, but then made a request of her own. Could she have her picture taken with David Martin?

Dave Martin is highly visible in Utah, where he has become a recognizable figure from his many TV commercials and his activity in civic affairs.

The request was granted.
