I liked Wally Hickel as Governor - tho moderate Republican Arliss Sturgelewski would have been more effective , But Hickle's appointments were far too often walking disasters !! John Lindauer , "Trapper Don" something-or-other as head of appointments, and Boyko as AG for example... Always has seemed a smug, ego-inflated nasty little man  ....   I did know Judge Carlson from his time in Juneau.. Always seemed quietly bright and always  a gentleman,,,
