title: Edward Coke, 7th Earl of Leicester

texts:
<mask>, 7th Earl of Leicester,  (6 May 1936 – 25 April 2015), styled Viscount Coke between 1976 and 1994, was an English nobleman. The Earl of Leicester was one of Norfolk's leading figures and played a key role in preserving and modernising the Holkham Estate over the last 40 years. Early life
<mask> was the son of Anthony Coke, 6th Earl of Leicester, and Moyra Joan Crossley, Countess of Leicester. Born in 1936 in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where his father had settled as a young man before inheriting his title and estate, he spent much of his childhood on a remote farm in South Africa. His grandfather, a younger son of the 3rd Earl of Leicester, had been killed at Gallipoli a week after providing covering fire for the first troop landings, which took place a hundred years to the day before his grandson's death. The Holkham Estate

By the 1960s it was clear that <mask>'s father was next in line to succeed to the Holkham estate, and that he was himself the next heir. In 1961, at the age of 25, Coke came to England and settled in the Holkham area to take up farming and familiarise himself with the estate.By early 1973 Coke had taken over the management of the estate, which had become severely in need of improvement. Of the 300 houses on the estate, only around thirty had bathrooms, the Hall was still heated by open fires, and, as he later said, the Park Farm was possibly the only loss-making farm in the country. This was the start of a lifelong project to modernise farming, the estate's buildings, and the Hall, to ensure a viable legacy for future generations. In 1996 he won the Laurent Perrier Award for Conservation, specifically recognising outstanding conservation work carried out to ensure the sustainability of the grey partridge population. In 1976, following the death of Thomas Coke, 5th Earl of Leicester and the decision of his father, the 6th Earl of Leicester, to remain in South Africa, he took over full responsibility, as Viscount Coke, for the management of the Holkham Estate. Upon the death of his father in 1994, he became the 7th Earl of Leicester and owner of the estate. The Earl was passionate about the Hall's extensive art collection and was a keen patron of the arts, loaning many paintings to galleries and exhibitions both nationally and internationally.Keenly interested in the history of the Coke family and all aspects of the Hall, he undertook the major task, that lasted 10 years, of restoring the original style of windows that had been destroyed by the insertion of large plate glass panes in the 19th century, and restored as far as possible the original picture hang. One of his last initiatives was to suggest a display (now in preparation) in the Hall about the Magna Carta and the role played by his ancestor the great 17th century lawyer, Sir <mask>, in preserving its values. With the help of his second wife, Sarah, new vitality was breathed into the Hall by careful repair and refurbishment; open days were transformed by the removal of ropes and the addition of flowers in the state rooms; the Marble Hall hosted classical concerts and staff parties. They deliberately occupied two different wings of the Hall in summer and winter, to maximise use of the whole house. Marriage and children
Leicester married Valeria Phyllis Potter, daughter of Leonard A. Potter, on 28 April 1962. They had three children and seven grandchildren. <mask> Coke, 8th Earl of Leicester (6 July 1965) he married Polly Whately on 21 December 1996.They have four children. Lady Laura Jane Elizabeth Coke (14 March 1968) she married Jonathan Paul in 1993. They have two sons and one daughter:
Barnaby <mask> Paul (3 May 1999)
Molly May Paul (14 July 2002)
Fergus Arthur Paul (9 January 2005)
The Honourable Rupert Henry John Coke (1975)

They were divorced in 1985. Leicester married secondly Sarah Forde, daughter of Noel Henry Boys Forde, in 1986, her second marriage. The Countess served as High Sheriff of Norfolk for 2013-14. Positions and offices held
Alongside overseeing the management of the estate the Earl of Leicester found time to play an active role in public life. Amongst the positions and offices he held were Leader of the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk (1980–1985), Chairman of the council's Planning Committee (1987–1991), an English Heritage Commissioner, Trustee of the North Norfolk Historic Building Trust, Founder Trustee and Chairman of the De Montfort University Global Education Trust, Trustee of the Royal Anglian Regiment, Chairman of the Country Landowners Association, Deputy Lieutenant of Norfolk, President of the Ancient Monuments Society and President of Wells RNLI.He served as President of the Historic Houses Association (HHA) from 1998 to 2003, in which capacity he was appointed a CBE for services to heritage. He continued his work with the HHA as a Patron. The Earl was an active field sports enthusiast and was proud of Holkham's reputation as the birthplace of driven shooting. Over the years, as a lover of working dogs, he hosted the Kennel Club's Retriever Championships and Spaniel Championships on the Holkham Estate. In 1978 he held a country fair in the park to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Sheep Shearings held by his ancestor, the famous farmer, 'Coke of Norfolk', and it became the first of many such regular events. Retirement and later life
In October 2005, Lord <mask> retired from the active management of the estate and handed over control to his son, Tom, Viscount Coke (who is now the 8th Earl). He moved to another property on the estate in 2006 but continued to take a keen interest in the continuing improvement of the Hall, the estate and its buildings.Lord Leicester died in the early hours of 25 April 2015. He leaves a widow, Sarah, Countess of Leicester, three children, and seven grandchildren. References

<mask> (1 October 1868 – 2 August 1952) was a British author of popular, racy, exotic New Woman novels under the pseudonyms Victoria Cross(e), <mask> and V.C. Griffin. Life
<mask> was the youngest of three daughters born to Colonel <mask> and his wife Fanny Elizabeth Griffin. Her older sisters were the poet Adela Florence Nicolson and the editor Isabell Tate, who edited the Sind Gazette in India. She was born in Rawalpindi, Punjab, and was also baptized there on 27 October 1868. Her father was employed in the British army at Lahore, where he was editor of the Lahore arm of The Civil and Military Gazette. Despite her parents' sojourn in India, they eventually returned to England, having maintained ties to their native country.<mask> attended London University at nineteen years old in 1888, but did not graduate. In the 1891 England Census, <mask> is listed as residing at 35 Tavistock Crescent, Paddington, London with her mother. After Arthur's death in 1903, <mask> traveled extensively over the Continent with her maternal uncle, Heneage McKenzie Griffin, who was the owner of the Seven-Thirty silver mine in Boulder, Colorado and prominently involved in the mining industry as one of its richest entrepreneurs. They lived together from 1916–1939, until his death in Italy. Having been bequeathed her uncle's entire fortune, <mask> settled in Monte Carlo to live with female friends. She also had a residence at 8 Via Cantonale Legano, Switzerland. After her death in Milan, Italy, <mask> was buried beside her uncle in 1952.She left £87,304 10s 8d in her will. Writing career
<mask>'s most established pseudonym was Victoria Cross. According to The Bookman, she chose this pseudonym, "because her initials are V.C. and...she is the descendent of a V.C." (Victoria Cross medal recipient). She had her first piece, Theodora, a Fragment, published in The Yellow Book in 1895. In the same year she wrote The Woman Who Didn't, a response to Grant Allen's book The Woman Who Did.Anna Lombard (1901) was her most successful novel, in which a woman convinces her husband to allow her to continue an extra-marital affair with an Indian. In Six Chapters of a Man's Life (1903), narrated by Cecil, an Englishman working in the East, details his love affair with Theodora, who accompanies him out of love to Port Said, Egypt, disguised for her safety as a male. Once her true sex is revealed to Egyptian males through an impulsive kiss from her lover, Theodora is assaulted and disfigured, returning to Cecil after a week spent as a captive in a brothel. Though their love endures, Theodora drowns herself to escape the shame of her experience. Reception
While praising Anna Lombard's "great success" despite its racy themes, William Thomas Stead reviewed its companion volume Life of my Heart (1905) with concern over its clear portrayal of interracial relationships as a positive development. He complained, "Victoria Cross has done a daring thing in thus exalting the sacrifice of everything for the love of a bronze archangel in disguise, and if she had not idealised her lover in the latter part of the book, she would have gone perilously near suggesting that the best thing a girl can do is to elope with the best-looking fellow – white or coloured makes no matter – who crosses her path...But what, in the name of fortune, makes Victoria Cross so crazy about exalting the superiority of natives as husbands over the typical Anglo-Indian?" Describing the passion of <mask>'s plot and language in the recently published novel Tomorrow?(1904), The Navy and Army Illustrated remarks, "The image that comes to mind...is that of a falling star; a white-hot thing rushing straight and swift through darkness to be lost in darkness. There is no stopping or turning aside; all is straight, swift motion to the end, and the swifter the star travels through the gloom, the more friction there is, so to speak. Between passion and unhappiness, the whiter and fiercer it glowers...Miss Victoria Cross writes in a white heat of passion." A feminist utopian fantasy, Martha Brown MP (1935), <mask>'s last novel, describes a future in which women rule England. Themes
<mask>'s stories often detail behaviors and desires unusual in the Victorian period such as female cross-dressing, unbridled and unashamed sexual desire, longing for and fear of interracial sexual relationships, and questioning of traditional heterosexual gender roles for men and women. Legacy
Though her reputation as a writer of New Woman fiction is now more obscure, <mask> is remembered chiefly as an author of decadent literature. Fate Knows No Tears (2008) by Mary Talbot Cross is a fictional retelling of the life of <mask>'s sister Adela as a young woman in India; <mask> appears as a secondary character in the novel.Novels

title: Josiah Henry Combs

texts:
<mask> was a lawyer and judge in Perry County, Kentucky. He was one of the central players involved in the French–Eversole Feud from 1887 to 1894 in Perry County. <mask> was assassinated on September 23, 1894 in Hazard, the county seat. Early life

<mask> was born on November 25, 1832 to <mask> (1798–1874) and Mary 'Polly' (Boling<mask> (1801–1875) of Hazard, Perry County, Kentucky. His father, <mask>, was the Clerk of Perry County, Kentucky. He is the grandson of <mask> (1770–1855) the founder of Hazard and Perry County, Kentucky. <mask> married Elizabeth 'Polly' Ann Mattingly on July 9, 1853, in Hazard.<mask> and his wife had at least six children:

William Jesse <mask> (1853–1938)
<mask>
<mask> (1855–1947) married politician Joseph C. Eversole
<mask> (1857–1919) married French supporter Elijah Morgan
<mask> (1859–1886) married Ira Jesse Davidson (2nd leader of the Eversole faction)
Mary Ellen <mask> (1860–1900)

Involvement in the French–Eversole Feud

Numerous books and media accounts have been recorded about the French-Eversole Feud and the various battles between supporters of Joseph C. Eversole and Benjamin Fulton French. <mask> was the father-in-law of Joseph C. Eversole. He was also an Officer of the Court and had an obligation to the law. On February 15, 1887, a fight broke out in Hazard, Kentucky between Joe Eversole and an itinerant mountain preacher, William 'Bill' Gambriel (or Gambrel), a French supporter. After a short exchange and a physical altercation, Gambriel was fired upon by Eversole supporters. Eventually, Gambriel was wounded by the Eversole men. As Gambriel was wounded, Joe Eversole shot him in the head killing him instantly.French supporters insisted that Joe Eversole be arrested. Eversole forces said that Gambriel pulled a gun and that the shooting was self-defense. <mask> refused to issue a warrant and thereby became a partisan for the Eversole side of the feud. Eventually, <mask> and his family were forced to leave Hazard for safety reasons. Governor Simon B. Buckner sent troops into Hazard several times. In 1889 the 'Battle of Hazard' occurred and Hazard was occupied. After four years of tranquility, <mask> decided to return to Hazard over the objections of his friends.Not long after he arrived a group of French supporters hiding in a corn field, opened fire on <mask>, killing him at the door to his home. Eventually the man who fired the shot, Joseph Adkins was indicted, tried, and convicted. His accomplices, including Benjamin Fulton French were indicted but not convicted. The 1917 book "Famous Kentucky Feuds and Tragedies" by Chas. G. Mutzenbery provided this account (roughly 13 years after Judge <mask>' assassination):

 The Murder was committed in broad-open daylight, in plain view of many townspeople and also from ambush. At the moment the fatal shot was fired, the old man was engaged with several of his friends and neighbors in common place conversation. Within a few feet of the group of men stood a fence enclosing a lot planted with corn, which together with the thick and tall growth of weeks and bushes, offered the assassins admirable opportunity to approach their victim to within a very few feet without danger of discovery.No one noticed the slight rustling of the corn blades. Not one saw the hand that parted them skillfully to make way for the gun which accomplished its deadly work. There was a puff of smoke, a loud report and <mask> reeled. Suddenly he straightened himself up, stood apparently undecided for a moment then walked across the street toward home. At its threshold he sank to the ground and expired without a groan. The Murderers had evidently been determined to guard against any possible blunders which had on former occasions, saved the old man's life. From the moment the shot was fired up to the time the old man fell dead, the murderous gun continually covered him, ready for instant service should it appear that the first shot had not been fatal.After the victim had fallen to the ground, the principal assassins deliberately walked to the rear of the lot. Here he was joined by one of his confederates. A third had already opened fire and continued a fusillade from across the river for the evident purpose of pretending the presence of a larger force and thus by intimidation to prevent pursuit. The three confederates then proceeded calmly down the river. Their retreat was deliberate. At no time did them exhibit the slightest apprehension of danger or fear of pursuers. Conviction and trial of the accused

In this same 1917 book was a summary of the conviction and trial of the accused though in the end, no one was really punished by the courts.Joe Adkins was convicted and was supposed to serve life but was released under mysterious circumstances. Several of the eyewitnesses of the tragedy and several members of the pursuing posse had recognized Joe Adkins, Jesse Fields and one Boon Frazier as the fugitives. Joe Adkins was the man who had fired the fatal shot which took the life of the old man <mask>. The three parties mentioned were in due time indicted. Adkins and Fields were arrested. Frazier was never caught. The case against Adkins and Fields were transferred to another district in Kentucky for trial.The best legal talent of the state participated in the famous trial. Honorable WCP Breckenridge a lawyer and orate of national fame had been retained as counsel for the defense. Fields and Adkins had been French men all through the feud, in fact, had been among his most trusted lieutenants since its commencement. Rumor therefore quickly associated the name of French with the murder of Judge <mask>. French stoutly denied any complicity in this affair. Then, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, came the startling intelligence that Tom Smith, another French warrior, had given out a confession which seriously compromised French. Smith was then under sentence of death, at Jackson, Breathitt County, for the murder of Dr. John E. Rader.As is usual with doomed felons, he became converted and sought to wash his sin stained soul whiter than snow by a confession. It set forth that he had been present at the home of Jesse Fields on Buckhorn Creek, Breathitt County, at the time when French, Adkins and Fields discussed and perfected plans for the assassination of <mask>; that he, Smith, would have assisted in the dastardly murder but for a wound which he had a short time before received in a pistol duel with Town Marshal Mann on the streets of Jackson. This confession resulted in French also being indicted. The confession itself was of no importance from a legal standpoint. It was however materially assisted and strengthened the prosecution by uncovering certain circumstances of which it might otherwise have remained in ignorance. The friends of the murdered judge pointed out with emphasis and logic that Smith had always been a French Confederate, had fought for him and taken life for him; that he had told the truth about his participation in the murders of Joe Eversole, <mask>, <mask>, Robin Cornett, McKnight and Doctor Rader. Was there any reason, they asked, why Smith should have lied in regard to French’s complicity in the murder of <mask>, yet had told the truth concerning all other things.Why, they argued, should Smith desire the ruin of his friend, his companion in arms, his chieftain, and accomplish it by false statements, when the truth would save him? French was indicted, tried and acquitted. On the first trial of Adkins and Fields both received life sentences. The cases were taken to the Court of Appeals and there, in an exhaustive opinion reversed. The second trials resulted in a life sentence for Adkins and the acquittal of Jesse Fields. Adkins however, had been a free man again, lo-these many years. A life sentence in Kentucky is not what it seems.Thus ends the last act of the bloody drama – the assassination of Judge <mask>. He was murdered because he had espoused the cause of Joe Eversole at the breaking out of the war. <mask> was assassinated on September 23, 1894 the last murder from that local civil war. Final justice

A number of books outline that most people believed that B. Fulton French was responsible for the murders of Joseph C. Eversole, his father-in-law, <mask> <mask>, and many others. In 1913 (19 years after the death of Judge Josah <mask>), French accidentally ran into Joe Eversole's widow, <mask> Eversole in the lobby of a hotel in Elkatawa, Kentucky (near Jackson, Kentucky). With Mrs. Eversole was her youngest son, Harry C. Eversole then 28 years old. Harry was both the son of Joseph C. Eversole and the grandson of Judge <mask> <mask>.When French spoke to Mrs. Eversole, Harry pulled out a revolver and aware that French wore a bullet proof vest – shot him in the spleen. French initially recovered from his wounds and the Court fined Harry C. Eversole $75 for disturbing the peace. Susan Eversole paid the fine. In 1915, a little over a year after the shooting, French died from complications from the wound and was buried at the Winchester Cemetery in Clark County. While French never went to prison for the crime of orchestrating the Eversole clan murders, Harry was never tried for Fulton French's murder. Media articles
During the period from 1886 when notice arrived of Benjamin Fulton French amassing a private army to assassinate Joseph C. Eversole the public and media followed the twists and turns of the French–Eversole Feud and the various trials, battles, indictments, convictions, re-trials, and death of the participants.

He then spent eight years under John Kresse at the College of Charleston from 1988 to 1996, where the program received an at-large 1994 NCAA bid, and NIT invitations in 1995 and 1996. He became an assistant coach at Marshall University, serving from 1996 to 1998.Winthrop
<mask> became the head coach at Winthrop University in 1998, and led the Winthrop Eagles men's basketball team to seven NCAA tournament appearances and transformed a previously undistinguished program into a mid-major powerhouse. In his first season at Winthrop in 1998–99, he compiled a record of 19–8 (9–1 in Big South Conference play), coaching the Eagles to their first regular season Big South title. They went on to win the Big South Conference Tournament, earning the Eagles their first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament. As a No. 16 seed, the team lost to the No. 1 seed Auburn Tigers in the first round, 80–41. During his nine seasons at Winthrop, <mask> coached the team to six regular season titles (1999, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007), seven Big South Tournament titles (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007), six 20-win seasons (1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007), and was named Big South Coach of the Year four times (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007).In 2006, he became the all-time most successful coach in Winthrop men's basketball history.

texts:
<mask> of Spain (; 4 June 1861 – 5 August 1879), daughter of Queen Isabella II of Spain and sister of King Alfonso XII, was an Infanta of Spain. At the age of seven, she accompanied her mother into exile in Paris, where she was educated at the College of the Sacred Heart. After the fall of Napoleon III, the royal family settled in Geneva. In 1875, with the restoration of the monarchy to her brother King Alfonso XII, she returned to Spain. Upon her mother's return to France, <mask> moved with her younger sisters Paz and Eulalia to the Royal Palace of Madrid. She completed her education under the supervision of her eldest sister Isabella, Princess of Asturias. There was a project to marry <mask> to the son of Napoleon III, Napoléon, Prince Imperial.The Empress of France, Eugenie, and Queen Isabella II were in favor of this union, but the young Prince Napoleon was killed in the Anglo-Zulu War. Two months later <mask>, age eighteen, died suddenly in Eskoriatza. Empress Eugenie took a wreath from her son's grave and sent it to <mask>'s gravesite in El Escorial. Early life

Born on 4 June 1861 at the Royal Palace of Madrid, Infanta <mask> was the third among the five children who survived infancy in the marriage of Queen Isabella II of Spain and the King consort Francisco de Asis of Bourbon, Duke of Cadiz. The infanta was christened the day following her birth as <mask> <mask> Berenguela Isabel Francisca de Asís Cristina Sebastiana Gabriela Francisca Caracciolo Saturnina. Her godparents were, her paternal aunt, Infanta Maria Cristina of Spain with her husband Infante Sebastian of Portugal and Spain, a couple who had married the previous year. Queen Isabella II, <mask>'s mother, paid little attention to her effeminate husband, the King consort Don Francisco, to whom she had been forced to marry at age sixteen.However, during their dysfunctional marriage, the Queen was pregnant twelve times. Historians and biographers have come to believe that King Francsico de Asis was not the biological father of most, if not all, the queen's children. Their paternity has been attributed to Isabella II's various lovers. Between 1859 and 1865, the queen's romantic attentions centered in the diplomat and politician Miguel Tenorio de Castilla (1818-1912). Twelve years older than Isabella II, Tenorio arrived at the court of Madrid in April 1859 as secretary to the queen. He was a widower with a son and with an extensive political career. His relationship with the queen was placid and he served her with loyalty and efficiency.In August 1865, he was dismissed from his post as both Leopoldo O'Donnell, president of the government, and his successor, <mask> Narváez, were weary of the influence Tenorio had over the queen. It is to Miguel Tenorio de Castilla that the paternity of Infanta <mask>, and her younger sisters, Paz and Infanta Eulalia are more frequently assigned. However, King Francisco recognized as his all of the children born during his troubled marriage. Four daughters and one son survived infancy. Infanta <mask> was his favorite and the one to whom he felt closer. Infanta <mask> spent her early year in the formal atmosphere of the Spanish court. Until age four, she was raised by a wet nurse who had been carefully chosen.At the age of seven, her education was placed under the supervision of the Duchess of Berwick and Alba. By that time, the stability of Isabella's II reign was shaky. The queen lost, in quick succession, the two most prominent politician of her government. Leopold O'Donell died in November 1867 and Narvaez in April 1868, while still presiding the government. In the summer 1868, after spending some days in the Palace of la Granja, the Spanish royal family moved to the Cantabrian Coast. They went to Lekeitio to spend time sea bathing, which had been prescribed to the queen as she suffered from a skin condition. <mask> was then seven years old.Her constant companions were her sisters Paz, age six, and Eulalia age four. Their brother Alfonso, age ten, was educated separately as he was the heir to the throne. <mask>'s eldest sister, Infanta Isabella had been married off to her cousin the Count of Girgenti in May and she was abroad on her wedding trip. While the royal family was in Lekeitio, a military upsiring broke out. On 28 September, the defeat of the royalist troops headed by general Novaliches in the battle of Alcolea sealed the end of the Queen's reign. Two days later, the Spanish royal family crossed the border by train to Biarritz. Exile

The first home of the Spanish royal family in exile was the Château de Pau, a renaissance castle that had been the birthplace of <mask>'s ancestor Henry IV of France.The Château de Pau was conveniently located close to the Spanish border and it was given to them as temporary residence by Napoleon III. As the castle was very uncomfortable, the deposed Spanish royals lived there no more than a month. Isabella II decided to settle in Paris where she bought the Palace Basilweski in the avenue du Roi-de-Rome. Located near the Arc de Triomphe, the Palace Basilweski was renamed the Palace of Castille and became the home in exile for Infanta <mask> and her family. Away from the formality of the Spanish court, life in exile allowed more freedom to Infanta <mask> and her sisters. They became the first Spanish princesses no to be educated under the confines of a palace. Infantas <mask>, Paz and Eulalia were enrolled at the Sacré-Coeur, a Catholic school run by nuns in la rue de Varnnes.Although the Sacre couer was a boarding school, the three infantas went to class there daily while remaining living at the Palace of Castile. French soon became their first language. Isabella II, who resented that her own mother had neglected her, was devoted to her children. The reduced household and the proximity brought by the exile made the relationship between the queen and her three younger daughters closer. <mask>'s brother was sent to study in Vienna while their eldest sister lived in Switzerland with her husband. On the second anniversary of their arrival in France, the fall of the monarchy of Napoleon III and the disturbances in Paris forced Queen Isabella II and her children to leave the city on September 29, 1871. They spent the next year living at the Hotel de la paix in Geneva, Switzerland.On November 26, 1871, <mask>'s brother in law, the Count of Girgenti committed suicide. In August 1872, a month after the commune was dissolved, the queen decided to return to Paris. Their residence, the Palace of Castille, had survived the disturbances. However, used as a hospital, its interiors and decorations had been destroyed requiring extensive renovations. Back in Paris, <mask>, who was eleven year old, returned to take classes at the Sacré-Coeur for two more years, leading a quiet family life. During a visit to Rome in 1873, Infanta <mask> and her sisters received their first communion from the hands of Pope Pius IX. On December 29, 1874, <mask> <mask>'s brother, Alfonso XII, was called to the Spanish throne after a pronunciamiento by Martinez Campos established him a king, ending the First Spanish Republic.The Spanish royal family was then reunited in Paris to celebrate New Year's Eve.<ref name = "Rubio 187">Rubio,  La Chata, p. 187.</ref> On 14 January 1875, Alphonso XII arrived in Spain, he was followed in March by Infanta Isabella, who was proclaimed Princess of Asturia. <mask>, then thirteen years old, remained living in France with her mother and younger sisters while all waited to be called back to Spain by the new government. Return to Spain

Antonio Cánovas <mask>, President of the Council of minister, finally authorized the return to the deposed Queen of Spain in the summer 1876. After almost eight years living in exile, <mask> <mask> arrived from France by sea, landing in Santander on 30 July 1876 . She had turned fifteen years old the previous month. Her eldest siblings, King Alfonso XII and Isabella, Princess of Asturias welcomed them, but they left the city the same night. <mask>, with her mother and younger sisters, remained in Santander.They made a trip to Ontaneda to go sea bathing and later traveled from Santander to El Escorial by train. On 13 October, they visited Madrid for seven hours. Isabella II was not allowed by the government to live in Madrid so <mask> her mother and sisters stayed at El Escorial until Isabella II decided to settle with her younger daughters in Seville. For almost a year, between November 1876 and September 1877 <mask> lived with her mother and sisters at the Alcázar of Seville. Shortly after they arrived in Andalusia, <mask>'s uncle, the Duke of Montpesier also came to live in the city with his family. <mask> and her sisters frequented their cousins, the sons and daughters of their aunt Infanta Luisa Fernanda of Spain and the Duke of Montpesier who had arrived from exile in France almost at the same time settling at the palace of San Telmo in Seville. <mask>'s eldest sibling King Alfonso XII and Isabella, Princess of Asturias came to Seville on a visit, spending eastern 1877 with them.Alfonso XII, in love with their cousin Mercedes of Orleans, asked her hand in marriage. Isabella II opposed this union as she hated her brother-in-law who had spent a large fortune to help depose her. Upset with her son's choice of a bride and feeling neglected in Seville, in August, Isabella II decided to return to Paris and lived there permanently. On September 28, 1877, <mask> <mask>, Paz and Eulalia moved to Madrid living at the Royal Palace of Madrid with their eldest siblings. In November, Isabella left Spain for Paris. <mask> never saw her mother again. In the fall 1877, a new life began for Infanta <mask> at the royal palace of Madrid where she had been born sixteen years earlier.Her education continued there under the supervision of her sister Isabella, Princess of Asturias. The three young Infantas lived in a wing of the royal palace separated from their two eldest siblings. This arrangement gave them some independence. Their care was supervised by the Marchioness of Santa Cruz. <mask> and her sister Paz, only one year her junior, were particularly close. Prospects of a marriage

On 23 January 1878, at the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha in Madrid, Alfonso XII married his first cousin, Princess Maria de las Mercedes. <mask>, Paz and Eulalia were close to their cousin and sister-in-law, but Mercedes's marriage was brief.She had a miscarriage and died six months into her marriage of gastric fever on 26 June 1878. <mask> and her sister went to Seville to visit their uncle. At this time there was a project to marriage <mask> to Prince Pierre, Duke of Penthièvre, a nephew of the Duke of Montpensier. He was a distant cousin. Isabella II opposed the idea, and the project did not go very far. <mask> <mask> was third in the line of succession as neither King Alfonso XII nor Isabella, Princess of Asturias had children by then. With no direct heir to the throne of Spain, it was a matter of urgency to find a husband for <mask>.Since the years of exile in Paris, it had been a cherished project between Queen Isabella II and her friend the Empress Eugenie to arrange a marriage between their children <mask> and the Prince Imperial. As the project had been on the back burner due to the fall of the French Empire and the exile in England. Isabella II conceived the idea of an even more illustrious match for her daughter. Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, heir to the Austria-Hungary Empire, was in search of a wife. Isabella II had her son Alfonso XII extended an invitation to Rudolf to come to Spain. The archduke arrived on hunting expedition with his brother in-law Prince Leopold of Bavaria. Rudolph met Infanta <mask>, and he was surprised to find that she was blond with clear with eyes as he had thought that all Spanish women were brunettes, but he showed no particular interest in her, concentrating in game hunting.<mask> was hoping to marry Louis Napoelon, the French Imperial Prince. They had met as children when <mask> and her sister were sometimes invited to play with him at the Tuileries Palace. The prince was then living in exile in England. He was due to pay an official visit to Madrid on his return from South Africa, where he was fighting with the British troops in the Anglo-Zulu War. Before his return, he was killed in South Africa on 1 June 1879. <mask> was deeply distraught by his death. She outlived him by only two months.Death

In the early summer 1879 it was organized that <mask>, Paz and Eulalia would spend some time in Eskoriatza, a small town known for its hot springs of mineral waters. On July 10 they arrived in Eskoriatza in the province of Gipuzkoa after a long and tiresome journey. In the following weeks, the sisters rested, leading a peaceful life dedicating their time to walks around the country side and reading. Infanta Paz noticed that <mask> looked pale and tired but since the sisters read each other's letters, Paz did not write about it to their eldest siblings to avoid alerting Pilar. On August 1 the local people arranged a little fiesta in the Infanta's honor. Wearing a white dress, and with a red beret on her head, <mask> attended the rustic fete and enjoyed its simple pleasures: donkey rides, bullocks and open-air dancing. That night, she complained of feeling tired.On August 3, <mask> did not feel well and she stayed in bed all day. At night while she was reading Graziella by Alphonse de Lamartine, she had an acute attack of convulsions, lost consciousness, and never woke up again. She died, probably of tuberculous meningitis. However, the official medical report was diagnosed with serious effusion. She was buried a few days later in El Escorial. King Alfonso XII and his sister Isabella arrived too late to see her alive. "Everyone", wrote the Infanta Paz afterwards, "loved <mask> best of all".<mask> herself was hoping to marry the Prince Imperial of France, nicknamed Loulou. On the day of his death, June 1, 1879, a pressed violet - the flower of the Bonapartes - is said to have fallen out of <mask>'s prayer book and to have broken at the stalk. According to that legend, when <mask> learned of his death some weeks later, she pined away and died of a broken heart. The Empress Eugénie wrote from Camden on August 9, 1879, to her mother the Countess of Montijo "I have received a terrible blow with the death of Infanta <mask> who was so close to my son. You tell me that she felt sick after a dance in Eskoriatza. Could God have truly decided to take these two souls destined one to another." The Empress Eugénie took one of the wreaths from his son's burial and sent it to <mask>'s in El Escorial.Infanta Paz, who was seventeen at the time, was deeply affected by her sister's death. Years later, the Infanta Paz married Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria, and decided to call her only daughter <mask> <mask> <mask> of Spain

<mask> (1864–1938) was an American civil engineer responsible for the construction of a number of bridges in the boroughs of New York. He was of Irish descent. Biography
<mask> was born in New York, N. Y., on January 27, 1864, the son of Frederick John and Susan Mary (Power<mask>, and the descendant of an old New York family of Irish heritage. Educated in the Public Schools of the city, he was graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1884. Engineering career

<mask> began his civil engineering career in 1886 with the New York City Aqueduct Commission on the construction of the Croton Water Supply System. It is of interest that on this project he met Robert Ridgway, who also was destined to become a distinguished engineer and an outstanding civil servant. From 1889 to the close of 1897, <mask> worked on highways and bridges for the old Department of Public Works of New York City.On January 1, 1898, he joined the Department of Bridges and began a striking and noteworthy service which ended in November, 1933, with his resignation from the position of Chief Engineer of the Department of Plant and Structures (the successor of the Bridge Department), in order to assume the duties of Chief Engineer of the Triborough Bridge. His thirty-six years of service in the Department of Bridges, and its successor, the Department of Plant and Structures, may be divided into two periods. 1898 - 1911

During this period, he was in charge of bridge construction and maintenance, supervising the construction of the Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River, the Vernon Avenue Bridge, the Borden Avenue and Hunters Point Bridges over Dutch Kills, and the old bridge over Flushing River. 1912 onwards
The second period began with his assumption of the office of Deputy Chief Engineer in 1912,  followed by his appointment as Chief Engineer in 1915. At the close of World War I, the Department of Plant and Structures began a period of intense activity which was cut short only by the Great Depression of 1930. Not less than fifteen new bridges of major importance, of which ten were of the bascule type, were built in this period. In addition, under <mask>'s direction, the Department designed and constructed a number of large incinerator plants and many other structures for the several departments of the City.He increased the capacity of the Manhattan and Queensboro Bridges over the East River by the construction of additional vehicular roadways on their upper decks. Triborough Bridge

<mask> was greatly preoccupied with the study of traffic facilities. As far back as 1916 he conceived the idea of the Triborough Bridge to link the Boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens. He fostered this idea until he thought the time was ripe for its materialization. The actual work on the foundations and anchorages was begun in 1929 under his direction, while Chief Engineer of the Department of Plant and Structures. Then, in November, 1933, upon the organization of the Triborough Bridge Authority, he became its first Chief Engineer. There is no doubt that <mask> looked upon the construction of the Triborough Bridge as the culmination of his career, but he was forced to relinquish his post in February, 1934, only several months after he had entered upon it with such high anticipation.Primarily, <mask> was an engineer and executive, and because of character, integrity, and devotion, held his position, independent of politics, throughout successive administrations. The administration headed by Fiorello H. La Guardia assumed the Mayor's office on January 1, 1934, with a mandate for a "clean sweep", and the complete reorganization of the Triborough Bridge Authority was among the changes which followed. "It is fitting that credit for the initiation of the Triborough Bridge should be accorded <mask>". Newspaper Article from The New York Sun (dated July 11th, 1936)

Other New York City Projects

Another instance of <mask>'s active concern with traffic facilities is his advocacy of a vehicular tunnel from the Battery to Hamilton Avenue, in Brooklyn, N. Y., by way of Governors Island. He prepared preliminary plans for this project which was an exceedingly live story in 1939. In 1929, also, he prepared preliminary plans and estimates for a vehicular tunnel under the East River from Manhattan Island at Thirty-eight Street to the Borough of Queens. Personal life
<mask> was married to Elizabeth Mary Dillon in 1902.She died in 1912, leaving him two young sons. <mask> did not remarry. He participated in the lives of his children until they were safely through college. <mask> was deeply religious and loyally attached to the Roman Catholic Church. He possessed power, energy, and a driving force which overcame apparently unsurmountable obstacles. The uncompromising integrity with which he conducted his responsible office was felt throughout his department. Beneath an exterior which years of command and responsibility had rendered somewhat stern, he fostered a kindly, generous, and charitable disposition – always ready with help and sympathy for fellow humans in distress.His engineers will remember the pleasure he derived from the genial luncheon intermissions when out on some job. No matter how serious the business might have been, <mask> would relax completely and, with a generosity which became proverbial, play the host to his party. He was fond of the theater, particularly musical comedy, and delighted in attending football games and other sports. When his sons were at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, he attended religiously all the Notre Dame games, enthusiastically supporting them as any undergraduate. <mask> died in Rye, New York, on December 6, 1938, at the home of his son <mask>. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery, in Queens, Long Island, and thus his last ride was over the bridge which played so great a part in the drama of his last years. At the time, he was survived by two sons, <mask> and George Dillon; and by two granddaughters, Elizabeth and <mask>, the children of <mask>.Professional associations

<mask> was a Consulting Engineer of the New York State Bridge and Tunnel Commission, and of the Camden-Philadelphia Bridge. He was a Past-President of the Society of Municipal Engineers of New York; a Past-President of the Kings County Chapter of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers a member of the Brooklyn Engineers Club, and of the Catholic Club. He was a trustee of the Greenpoint Savings Bank. <mask> was elected a Member of the ASCE on April 16, 1918. External links

<mask>, Jr. (born 1935, Chicago, Illinois) is an American trial and appellate lawyer and published historian. In his five-decade career as a litigator and partner at the international law firm Kirkland & Ellis, he has handled major U.S. civil and criminal trials and highly publicized international proceedings, such as those arising out of the Amoco Cadiz and Exxon Valdez oil spills. His legal work has been recognized by the Chambers & Partners and The Best Lawyers In America lawyer-rating directories, The New York Times and Chicago Tribune, and several books. In 1969–70, he served as a delegate to the Sixth Illinois Constitutional Convention, which drafted the state's most recent constitution. <mask> has written two history books, Relative Strangers: Italian Protestants in the Catholic World (2011) and Creating the Land of Lincoln: The History and Constitutions of Illinois 1778-1870 (2018). The latter work won the Illinois State Historical Society's Russell P. Strange Book of the Year Award in 2019, in recognition of its contribution to the study of Illinois history. Early life and education
<mask>, Jr. was born in Chicago in 1935 to Italian-American parents, <mask>, Sr. and Mary (née Balma) <mask>.His two sets of grandparents emigrated from Italy, independently settling in a near-northwest side Italian neighborhood in Chicago less than two blocks from one another in 1904. Giacomo and Margherita Balma were Waldensians (an Italian Protestant movement) from the Italian northwest region of Piedmont; <mask> was a Catholic from Montemaggiore, Sicily who emigrated to Buffalo in 1893, where he met and married Antonina Panepinto, also a Catholic, from Valledolmo, Sicily. The two families remained unknown to one another for nearly thirty years, until <mask>'s parents, <mask>, Sr. and Mary, met while working at the nearby LaMantia Brothers produce house. They courted and privately wed in early 1935 over the opposition of their families, due to religious and cultural (northern/southern Italy) differences. <mask>, Jr. and his siblings, James and Nancy, were raised in his mother's Protestant faith; his family's unique history served as the springboard and subject of his first book. After his family moved to suburban Western Springs, <mask>, Jr. became the first in his family to go to high school or college, attending Lyons Township High School in La Grange and Amherst College in Massachusetts (1953–4), before transferring to Wheaton College in Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (1957). After marrying Jan (née Pickett) <mask> in 1959, <mask> enrolled at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he earned a Master in Public Affairs degree in 1962.That fall, they returned to Chicago and <mask> attended the University of Chicago Law School (J.D., 1965), where he was chosen for the Board of Editors of the Law Review and selected for the Order of the Coif. In 1965, he was hired by the Chicago-founded international law firm, Kirkland & Ellis (then named Kirkland, Ellis, Hodson, Chaffetz, & Masters). Legal career
<mask> has been a member of Kirkland & Ellis for more than five decades as a litigator, partner (since 1970), and senior partner. He has handled major civil and criminal trials in U.S. federal and state courts as well as international arbitrations and litigations. He represented Skidmore Owings & Merrill before the Iranian-American Claims Tribunal in The Hague (1981–2) and corporations such as Abbott Laboratories, Ameritech, Amoco, BP, General Motors, Nissan and Price Waterhouse, in cases that range from antitrust and trade regulation to environmental issues to trademark claims. <mask>'s work has been recognized in several editions of the lawyer-rating directories The Best Lawyers In America, and Chambers & Partners America's Leading Business Lawyers, as well as in the books, Superwreck (1987), which details the Amoco Cadiz oil spill, and The Man Who Beat Clout City (1977), about a landmark police discrimination suit. Chambers & Partners identified <mask> as "the elder statesman" at K&E, highlighting his litigation and defense experience, strategic advice, and oversight of major cases.The Chicago Tribune described him as "one of the top corporate trial lawyers in Chicago;" in an interview, Senior U.S. District Judge Prentice H. Marshall named him among "the great lawyers" that appeared before him. After Richard M. Daley's election as mayor in 1989, <mask> was widely mentioned as a candidate to succeed him as interim Cook County State's Attorney. In 2009, <mask> was among the nation's lawyers honored by Best Lawyers at its 25th anniversary event. Notable cases
In 1975, <mask> became the chief litigator representing the Chicago Afro-American Patrolmen's League (AAPL) and Renault Robinson in a civil suit (United States v. City of Chicago, 395 F. Supp. 329) against the Chicago Police Department regarding racial discrimination in hiring, promotion, assignment and discipline. Author and Chicago Defender editor Robert McClory described <mask> in the courtroom as quick on his feet and "extraordinarily authoritative yet non-threatening," a "perfect foil" to the city's often overbearing defense attorney. In Judge Prentice Marshall's 1976 ruling—which impacted police integration cases across the country—Cicero won damages and injunctions regulating future hiring, promotion and conduct.From 1978–1992, <mask> represented Amoco in U.S. and European proceedings brought by various French parties over damages resulting from the oil spill of the supertanker Amoco Cadiz off the coast of Brittany in 1978. Authors Yvon Rochard and Alphonse Arzel, a senator and leader in the proceedings for the French, described <mask> as thorough, highly informed, forceful and "ruthless." According to author Rudolph Chelminski, <mask> Espanoles, and that the spill's effects were worsened by the incompetence of French authorities in preparedness and response. In the initial 1984 court decision, Amoco was found liable, however <mask>os also found responsible, and in limiting damages based on incompetent clean-up efforts. After several appeals, Amoco agreed to pay $200 million in 1992, a figure much lower than the French claim, which amounted to $1.6 billion. Cicero also represented BP in proceedings resulting from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. BP was sued for damages as the principal owner of Alyeska, which participated in response efforts and operated the crude oil pipeline from North Slope of Alaska to the station where the tanker was loaded.Legal writing and lecturing
<mask> has written journal articles and book chapters on a variety of legal matters, and lectured before state and federal bar associations, the University of Chicago Law School, the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, Harvard Law School Trial Practice Institute, and others. His article, "Personal Jurisdiction and Service," serves as a chapter in the book Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts (1998), and his articles on final argument and verdict strategy are published in The Litigation Manual: Trial (1999). History books
<mask>'s first book, Relative Strangers (2011), explores his family's Italian and religious roots through the immigrant journeys of his Waldensian Protestant and Catholic grandparents from Italy to Chicago, where their paths crossed with the meeting of his parents. It also traces the history of the Waldensians, who were a proto-Protestant reform sect founded in 12th-century Lyon, France and now centered in Piedmont, Italy; they were declared heretics in 1215 by the Catholic Church and persecuted in the centuries that followed by the Medieval Inquisition and in massacres such as the Piedmontese Easter of 1655. Theologian Richard Peace calls the book "a rich read" that points to ways to overcome religious division. Author Scott Turow describes it as "part personal memoir, part history of religion and always compelling reading. It illustrates yet again the diversity of the human family and the unpredictable paths taken by the quest for faith."<mask>'s second book, Creating the Land of Lincoln (2018), details neglected aspects of Illinois's political history by studying its 19th-century constitutional conventions and constitutions, which recast the state from one destined as an extension of the American South into a northern stronghold. Professor and reviewer Todd E. Pettys describes it as "carefully researched and engagingly written" and relevant to "those interested in nineteenth-century politics of race in the Midwest, the forces that placed Douglas and Lincoln on the nation's political stage." <mask> isolates key debates and actions and their effects, such as a boundary change written into the initial 1818 constitution that extended Illinois north to include the future Chicago and waterways access, or a controversial provision allowing so-called "voluntary" indenture contracts, which in essence maintained a form of slavery in the state. Together, these events attracted and emboldened North-oriented European and New England commercial settlers who later enabled the rise of Lincoln's Republican Party and passage of the state's progressive 1870 constitution, which remained in effect for 100 years. Public service
<mask> served as an elected delegate to the Sixth Illinois Constitutional Convention, which drafted the state's current, 1970 constitution. The document included key bans on discrimination by race, color, creed, national ancestry and sex, protective measures for women and the disabled, and provisions for home rule. <mask> also served as a delegate to the 1972 Democratic National Convention.In 1990, he established the <mask>, Jr. Faculty Fund at the University of Chicago Law School, which supports faculty research. <mask> is a trustee of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and Newberry Library in Chicago, and previously served as a trustee for the Nature Conservancy of Colorado and the American Waldensian Society. Personal life
<mask> has been married to <mask> since 1959. They have two daughters, <mask> and <mask>, born in 1965 and 1970. In 1974, Jan opened Jan Cicero Gallery, initially operating out of their newly purchased Evanston home. She relocated the gallery to Chicago's downtown area in 1977, eventually settling in the River North gallery district.In 1987, they built a home in the mountains outside of Telluride, Colorado and Jan opened a second gallery there. She ceased all gallery operations in 2003. The <mask>s continue to live in Evanston, Illinois. References

<mask> (English pronunciation: Fih-ZAY; November 7, 1922 – February 27, 2001) was a Canadian-American microbiologist and virologist. His research helped to develop one of the first successful Q fever vaccines, noted by The New York Times. <mask> was born in Quebec, Canada, and attended Laval University, where he earned a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1949. He subsequently attended Cambridge University, where he received a PhD degree in 1956. As a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, he also researched other bacterial diseases such as typhus and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, in addition to Q fever. Early life and education
Born in Quebec, <mask> attended high school at the Collège François-de-Laval (formerly called the Petit Séminaire de Québec) in Quebec City. He earned his bachelor's degree in humanities and general sciences from Laval University in 1944 and his Doctor of Medicine degree there in 1949.<mask>'s residency was at  in Quebec. He also did additional postgraduate work at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, and the National Institute for Medical Research in London. <mask> later earned a PhD in virology at Cambridge University between 1953 and 1956. Career
After earning his Ph.D., <mask> began teaching in the U.S. at the Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York. In 1964, he joined the faculty at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore as an associate professor, becoming a U.S. citizen the following year. <mask> became a full professor there in 1975. <mask> served the Commission on Rickettsial Diseases of the U.S. Armed Forces Epidemiological Board from 1965 to 1976.He was a consultant to the Surgeon General of the United States, for which he received the Outstanding Civilian Service Award in 1972. Between 1987 and 1989, <mask> was chairman of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Research

In 1951, <mask> and others wrote in the Canadian Medical Association Journal of their research into three cases of bronchopulmonary candidosis. While working on his doctorate in virology at Clare College, Cambridge University between 1953 and 1956, <mask> worked to decode the structure of Coxiella burnetii, the bacteria causing Q fever, with Michael Stoker. The infection typically presents symptoms such as high fever, headaches, and severe muscle aches and pains which can last for several weeks. His subsequent research as a professor at the Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and University of Maryland School of Medicine led to development of the Q fever vaccine with Australian microbiologist Barry Marmion. Theodore Woodward, writing for the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, said that an  "important and better understanding of Q fever resulted from  the work of Dr. <mask>, who showed that Q fever Rickettsiae could wear several faces, called Phase I and Phase II, a change that was important for vaccine development and accurate diagnosis".The vaccine resulted in a protection rate of 95 percent. In addition to writing extensively about his research into Coxiella burnetii, <mask> also researched typhus and  Rocky Mountain spotted fever at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In 1978, he collaborated in the research of a Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever case resulting from a blood transfusion. As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the peer-reviewed study said the recipient's diagnosis was confirmed "by positive serologic reactions and isolation of Rickettsia rickettsii from blood after inoculation in animals and tissue culture". Following a 1979 outbreak of Q fever in California, <mask> conducted a two-year serological testing program at the National Institutes of Health Animal Center. Personal life
In the 1960s to 1980s, <mask> made his home in Hampton, Maryland, with his wife, Marie Lorraine <mask> ( Gosselin), whom he married in 1953 while both were studying microbiology at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. They had a son, Peter, and two daughters, Lauren and Clare.<mask> was an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America in the early 1970s, serving as chairman of his son's Scout troop. The couple moved to nearby May's Chapel in 1982. <mask> died of heart failure in Baltimore at age 78 on February 27, 2001. He is interred at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens in Timonium, Maryland.

title: Bill Allen (businessman, born 1937)

texts:
<mask> (born April 6, 1937) is the former CEO of the Alaska oilfield services company VECO Corporation. VECO was an Alaska-based oil pipeline service and construction company founded by Wayne Veltri (VECO is short for Veltri Co). <mask> was born in New Mexico and at the age of 16 left for the oil fields of Alaska to become a welder to help support his family. VECO began as a one truck welding and repair operation that grew to become a major player in the Alaskan and worldwide oil industries' support services business. He built a for-profit prison in Barbados as well. VECO also was a worldwide player in the oil industry, having divisions in many major oil markets, including the Sudan, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela and Syria. VECO had a major impact on the economy of Alaska and employed over 5,000 people worldwide.Exxon Valdez oil spill
On March 24, 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef, spilling eleven million gallons of crude oil into the waters of Prince William Sound. The Exxon Valdez oil spill was the second largest in United States history, after the BP Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Under <mask>'s guidance, VECO (along with its unionized subsidiary, NORCON) was responsible for large parts of the spill's cleanup, hiring 2,500 workers to clean up the environmental disaster. VECO's quick actions are credited with limiting the devastating environmental impact of the Exxon spill. Following the spill and cleanup, Allen purchased the Anchorage Times from editor/publisher Robert Atwood. <mask> operated the newspaper until shutting it down and selling many of its assets to its rival, the Anchorage Daily News, in 1992. Through an agreement described as "unique," <mask> paid for space in the editorial section of the ADN for many years afterward to provide a half-page feature known as The Voice of the Times.Alaska political investigation
On May 7, 2007, <mask>, along with VECO's Vice President for Community & Government Affairs Rick Smith, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Anchorage in the Alaska political corruption probe to charges of extortion, bribery, and conspiracy to impede the Internal Revenue Service. The charges involved bribing Alaska lawmakers to vote in favor of an oil tax law favored by the VECO that was the subject of vigorous debate during the regular and two special sessions of the Alaska Legislature in 2006  <mask>'s testimony, at the trial of his former friend, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, helped secure Stevens' conviction, in U.S. District Court on charges of felonious corruption. <mask> pleaded guilty and could have faced 9–10 years. Instead, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison and fined $750,000.00. He was released from a halfway house in New Mexico on November 22, 2011. Later, it emerged that <mask> might have perjured himself at trial. During a review of the case triggered by allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, investigators for the United States Department of Justice discovered a previously undocumented interview between <mask> and prosecutors.In this interview, <mask> stated that the fair market value of the repairs to Stevens' house was around $80,000, far less than the $250,000 he testified to at trial. Moreover, <mask> said in the interview that he didn't recall talking to Bob Persons, a friend of Stevens, regarding the repair bill for Stevens' house. This directly contradicted <mask>'s testimony at trial, where he claimed Stevens had asked him to give Persons a note Stevens had sent asking for a bill for the repair work. At trial, <mask> said Persons had told him the note shouldn't be taken seriously because "Ted's just covering his ass". The notes of this interview were never given to the defense, as required by U.S. criminal law. The discovery of this interview was cited by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in his decision to move to dismiss Stevens' indictment before sentencing—effectively vacating his conviction. "I have determined that it is in the interest of justice to dismiss the indictment and not proceed with a new trial," said Holder.<mask>'s resignation from VECO
On May 11, 2007 the VECO Corporation announced that CEO <mask> and Vice President for Community & Government Affairs Rick Smith had resigned from the corporation. <mask> was succeeded as chairman of the board by his daughter, Tammy Kerrigan. A new CEO had not been chosen. It was not clear if the position of Vice President for Community & Government Affairs would be refilled. Sale of VECO Corporation
In September 2007 VECO Corporation was sold to Colorado-based CH2M HILL corporation. Due to the cloud hanging over its head from the political investigation, it is estimated that VECO was forced to sell for far less than its market value. Though he had no legal obligation to do so, <mask> negotiated that 5% of the proceeds from the sale of VECO be given to the employees for the years of service they had given the company.Tens of millions of assets including the Norcon division yard in Anchorage and other Alaskan and foreign properties, were retained by the family. Personal
<mask> had three children, who received $30 million each from the sale of VECO: Kerrigan, <mask>, and Shannon West. He owned racehorses, including a partnership in the stud horse So Long Birdie, which included his son Mark, Stevens and seven others, and which was managed by Persons. New Mexico veterinarian Leonard Blach and Mark co-owned Mine that Bird, ridden by Calvin Borel, which won the 2009 Kentucky Derby. Going off at 50-1 odds, it was the longest ever odds on a winner of that race. Mark then entered the horse in the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes. The new owners of Rachel Alexandra a filly that won the Kentucky Oaks, with Borel aboard, intended to enter her in the Preakness as well, with Borel again committed to ride her.Mark attempted to collude with another owner to enter two additional horses, in order to exclude Rachel Alexandra from running by filling the field, and to allow him to have Borel ride Mine that Bird again. After the scheme was exposed, Mark declined to enter his second horse. He issued a press release, stating "Additionally, my decision to enter Indy Express in the Preakness was strictly business but after consulting with my Dad (sic) and Doc Blach, I have decided to withdraw Indy Express to prevent any further miss (sic) understandings. They're (sic) advice to me was just to do what's right, because arrogance and greed isn't right." Rachel Alexandra, with Borel riding her, won the 2009 Preakness Stakes with Mine that Bird ridden by Mike Smith, finishing second, a length behind. References
