Description:
Text transcribed from caption: The Rev. Walter Soboleff, pastor of Memorial
Presbyterian Church, Juneau, Alaska, Sheldon Jackson graduate, and Tlingit
Indian whose grandfather was Russian. Mr. Soboleff broadcasts a regular
program in Tlingit, both newscasting and giving religious messages. He is
widely listened to by fishermen, others who have few opportunities to hear
their native tongue. Perhaps as an heritage from his opera singer grandfather
Mr. Soboleff got his musical talent. He is a gifted violinist.
