Today we celebrate 63 years of Alaskan Statehood by continuing our conversation with Victor Fischer, the last living signer of the our State’s Constitution. We discuss Alaska in the 1950s when he was both a territorial legislator and a delegate to the 1955 constitutional convention. We also talk about the Great 1964 Earthquake when Mr. Fischer was working in the administration of President Lyndon Johnson and was able to help direct substantial federal money to the reconstruction of the state. Joining the podcast today are others with memories from this period: retired Palmer Elementary school teacher Judith Anderegg, retired Fairbanks civil Engineer Mike Gavin, and Anchorage attorney and former legislator and Assembly member Joe Josephson. There are many amazing events in Victor Fischer’s life that we do not talk about today. Please read his 2012 book To Russia with Love: An Alaskan’s Journey. His autobiography co-written with Charles Wohlforth delves deeply into early statehood and so much more. This podcast was recorded via Zoom.
