Having known Larry Burton since he was a young boy I am thrilled and happy for Alaska.  His zeal
and competence will be so welcome in a State with so few with his vast credentials of knowing how 
to further Alaska and improve the standard of opportunity for many Alaskans.

Am positive that Mr Burton took a severe financial cut in pay because his interest is in serving the 
people of Alaska and I applaud the selection by Senator Sullivan for making this very important
decision.   Alaska will truly benefit by this important decision.
