Hello All,
My name is Nathan Goughnour from near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America and I am working to contact Steve Whiteside, Jack Gill or most importantly - David Hasselhoff. I am part of the ONLY child safety program in the entire world that was and still is originally supported by David. Steve was the point man in bringing David and my friend together on location during filming of the Season 4 episode "Hills of Fire". My friend is Sgt. Glenn Young of the Sgt. Glenn Young Child Safety Program based in New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.
The program features a miniature go-kart sized KITT replica named K.I.D., which stands for Kids In Danger. The name was actually created on set in California. K.I.D. is remote operated, rides on two wheels, talks, has a scanner, laser, fire extinguisher, ejection mode, shoots an "anti-stranger" spray (water jet) and was hand built using a frame of 1 inch water pipe, electric motors from cars and features a custom double thick fiberglass body. K.I.D. is used to educate and entertain children about dangers they face everyday, such as strangers, pedophiles, fire safety, use of 9-1-1 emergency, identification of true police officers, internet safety and much, much more.
Also featured in this program is a full size 1984 Trans-Am K.I.T.T. replica which features custom work originally done by Rob Louisell using actual Knight Rider plans for the dash and other items from the Sgt. Some of what Rob originally offered for KITT conversions came from Sgt. Young. The Sgt. still has some original items from the Knight Rider set. Unfortunately, their relationship soured years ago, though I hope to eventually seek a truce with Mr. Louisell myself. And finally, the program features a 16 foot truck that originally served as a delivery vehicle for the Keebler Cookie Company. After its donation to the program, it was completely customized to become the mobile command vehicle for K.I.D.
Sgt. Glenn Young filmed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) with David on set in 1985 and I recently placed this clip on YouTube. I provided the link below. Steve coordinated Glenn's flight out to California for a week and it is for this reason I would like to reconnect Steve Whiteside, David Hasselhoff, Jack Gill and Sgt. Young. If any member of this site can assist me in this quest, I would be most appreciative. I have sought guidance from Stu Phillips, the only Knight Rider contact I have been able to make thus far, but have not yet made contact with Steve, Jack or David. E-mails sent to the gentleman in charge of the Las Vegas based Knight Rider Convention were never returned.
I'd like to thank everyone for their time and help. Please view and enjoy the following video clips, one filmed directly on the Knight Rider set in 1985! Pictures of the program are available as well. I hope to eventually post some of those here soon.
Sincerely,
Nathan D. Goughnour (assistant)
