- Admin History/Bio
- The 1988 walk was a celebration of Israel's fortieth birthday. Held on Sunday, 15 May, it was chaired by Gloria Clamen and Barbara Lampcov. The day's radio communication network was headquarted as usual in the Lipa Green Building. One planning committee was dedicated to planning for accessibility on the walk, and its chair, Helen Wolfe, led seventy people with physical and developmental disabilities along the route. Celebrity appearances included Olympic figure-skating pair Lyndon Johnston and Denise Benning. The festival at the BJCC included a gala carnival with rides and an open air café. Honorary cake cutters sliced an enormous blue-and-white birthday cake that measured twelve feet by three feet. The coordinator of the festival was Ted Sokolsky; the coordinator of the walk was David Gotfrid.
