At Alyeska, polished gold pans, appropriately engraved, were sometimes presented to mark a special occasion, achievement, or milestone such as retirement.
This particular gold pan was presented to Glenn Meidinger, at a gathering in the Machine Shop, by David Calvin, Maintenance Supervisor at the Valdez Terminal, at the time of Glenn’s retirement. It is engraved as follows:
“Alyeska Pipeline Service Company” above the map of Alaska with the state flag inside; then below that, “Glenn Meidinger / In appreciation of your service / to / Alyeska Pipeline Service Company / 9//2/81 – 10/3/97 / Anchorage, Alaska.
17 1/2″ in diameter [GM]
