During the summers he and his wife, Dolores, hosted camps for the youth in the village. In 1980 they began to develop a Christian radio station. KIAM radio station was incorporated in Nenana, Alaska as a non-profit entity on September 7, 1983. Lamon Bishop of Cornerstone Charities International went to Alaska with a team on several occasions to build houses, additional radio stations, and other buildings in the outlying areas of Alaska. In the summer of 2008 CCI took a team of twelve to do some extensive remodeling on Eldridge’s home, which was 25 years old.
Bob Eldridge passed away in 2010. In the summer of 2012 CCI took a team to Nenana to help Dolores “winterize” her home. We painted the exterior, cut and stacked firewood, built a snow fence, and performed a few other odd jobs which helped Dolores to be ready for winter.
