Juneau Empire: The Douglas Fourth of July Committee has chosen a lifelong Douglas resident - and the first Miss Alaska - as its grand marshal for Fourth of July festivities this weekend. Stuart Sliter, 70, has served at the Douglas Senior Center for almost a decade and has worked various positions for regional and state offices of the Division of Elections since 1984.
"I was on the Dave Garroway 'Today Show,' Jack Paar 'Tonight Show,' Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand.' Life Magazine followed me around for a day," Sliter said. "It was amazing, just incredible. It was the mystique of Alaska; they were totally intrigued by it."
