Hello, Howard

I am presently a paralegal/researcher for the law firm Walker & Levesque
LLC of Anchorage, Alaska, working primarily on an anti-trust lawsuit
against BP and ExxonMobil, alleging violations of the Sherman Act in
refusing to market the Alaska North Slope's natural gas (see
http://www.allalaskagasline.com/).  Our co-counsel are Boies Schiller
Flexner LLP, which represented Vice President Al Gore in the 2000
Florida ballot-counting dispute. 

The firm and my wife, Mary, (Claremont, NH) let me out to teach Alpine
skiing once or twice a week; a friend's wife, a teacher of the blind,
interested me in 1987 in teaching skiing to individuals with
disabilities. 

I was saddened to learn of the death in 2003 of music teacher/conductor
Chester Petranek, who mentored many of us in orchestra and band at BCC
and the County Youth Orchestra, then took many of us with him to State
Youth Orchestra in 1960 when he was selected its music director. 

Thanks to Karen Fite for the news of Margaret Casey, with whom we shared
AP English.  

Perhaps some of you knew my relative Mary Todd, BCC '59.  She believes
in Fidel Castro's revolution and lives near Havana, where she continues
to tutor students in English and other subjects, and translates articles
and books into English.  Her son, Yassir Laurence Aguila Todd, spent a
summer with us in Anchorage before enlisting (much to his mother's
displeasure) in the US Marine Corps.
