What is the price value of this MEDAL

Candice, really don’t know. Do you think I should consider adding a page where people can post Alyeska Artifacts for sale? If so, I will give it some thought.
Ann R Holm
Can you tell me what it’s worth, I won’t to give it to my family.

I live in the United Kingdom and have acquired a framed ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ given to a man named R.E. Barnes who worked on the Alyeska Pipeline from April 13 1977 to May 11th 1979. I would appreciate if anybody connected to the pipeline could give me any information on this person. We have no knowledge if he is alive or not, but this certificate has piqued my interest.
Mike Barnes
I am the son of R.E Barnes. What would you like to know. He died in 2018.
I would be interested to know how you acquired the certificate?

Join CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. It is now becoming apparent that Alyeska workers, many now in retirement, are passing on at a very young age, and this premature life expectancy cut short may be due to “Benzene” exposure. Any interested family member that has lost a loved one while employed by Alyeska from cancer or any of the other side effects from “BETX/PAH/VOC” exposure on-the-job , if interetsed should contact Mike Kelley at michael.kelley.tmkf@gmail.com
