On the first Saturday in May, back in 1970, 4,500 Anchorage residents raised $137,000 dollars for what was then called "Hope Cottage."
And, back in 1976, Anchorage's Public Broadcasting station, KAKM channel 7, had a weekly TV magazine show called "Southcentral." Director, videographer and editor Michael R Dougherty (me), along with engineer Joe Gill, followed the 1976 Walk for Hope". KAKM engineer James Chafin provided the opening voice over introducing the completed video.
It should be noted that for years after this walk, Hope Community Resources used the KAKM video to promote their yearly walk.
BONUS
Now step back in time to 1976 and the Walk for Hope. By the way, the song used for the video is "A Fifth of Beethovan" a disco instrumental by The Big Apple Band that was released that same year.
