    I think the "Alaska Ocean" belongs to the Norton Sound's CDQ group, NSEDC. Good luck to this foreign sounding dude(Franz D'Alquen) when he tries to claim compensation for getting injured on the job. It'll turn into a Dog and Pony Show in the court system for years and years and years and years until the Peoples Monies fund breaks him down to accepting peanuts.

    None of you know what you're talking about. I grew up with Franz in the United States, no foreigner here. He was a hard working American who leaves his loving family behind, parents, wife, and kids. Research before you speak unkind words and point fingers. Know your facts. The Seattle based Alaskan Ocean is owned by Glacier Fish Co in Seattle, WA. My husband says mister anonymous in the first lengthy comment is a punk!
