Hickel sounds like French or Alsatian name. Does W J Joseph have French origins? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.51.133.14 (talk) 13:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "Walter Joseph Hickel" is a typical German name (might however be Alsatian). --85.179.19.153 (talk) 14:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wally Hickel and statehood

There are certainly plenty of sources which refer to Hickel as a prime mover in the statehood cause during the 1950s. There are also plenty of other sources which refer to Hickel's relationship with the AIP decades later. What continues to stand out in my mind, twenty-plus years later, is reading about how Hickel shared Kansas roots with

Joe Vogler, but had little else in common with him, particularly when it came to the issue of whether Alaska should be a separate nation. However, I came across something else from that same time period which may contradict this. Larry L. King wrote a feature article about Anchorage, which was published in the March 1988 National Geographic. Hickel and Tony Knowles were King's two main interviewees in this piece. As an aside, the article strongly implies that Knowles's 1990 candidacy (where he lost to Hickel) had been anticipated since he left the mayor's position. Anyway, near the bottom of King's piece is a quote from Hickel, where he feels that Alaska made a big mistake in not becoming a separate nation. I do have a copy of this, but don't have it handy right now. RadioKAOS  – Talk to me, Billy 22:01, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply

Anthony J. Hilder

Looking at John Koerner's book, Exploding the Truth: The JFK, Jr. Assassination, it says that Anthony J. Hilder was directly responsible for electing Wally Hickel in Alaska as the first independent state governor of the 20th Century. See here. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 11:34, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
Joe Vogler both grew up in rural Kansas at around the same time and may have viewed themselves as kindred spirits, while firmly pushing the view that Hickel was opposed to the issue and only latched onto the AIP as a flag of convenience. Hope this helps. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 03:36, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply

Hi, thanks. Interesting stuff. Certainly a different way to view Hilder's part in Hickel's election. Something to find out more about. Interesting. Thanks for that. Karl Twist (talk) 10:42, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
