Anthony J. Dimond
The death of Judge Anthony J. Dimond Thursday night
saddened thousands of Alaskans and created a loss that the
Territory will feel for a long time.
Many hundreds of Kodiak residents Knew and respected
Judge Dimond. His decisions in court matters and his kindly
■and courteous counsel to many will long be remembered. His
visits to Kodiak, at least local residents thought, were all too
rare. His crowded legal schedule kept him busy in Third Dis
trict Court and prevented him from visiting the many com
munities and friends he so long represented while in Con
gress.
No man living today has contributed so much to the
welfare of the territory or w rked harder for statehood and
the betterment of his fellow Alaskans.
Alaska will sorely miss Judge Anthony J. Dimond.
