The Alaska Miner Summer 24

In June, our friend Bob Maynard, a longtime attorney with Perkins Coie, passed away from injuries sustained while riding his bike in Boise. Bob worked in Alaska for a long time, early on as solicitor for the US Forest Service before eventually going into private practice and working on many other mining projects in Alaska and beyond. He’d relocated to Boise several years ago. In May, a few of his old friends gathered in Anchorage to remember and raise a glass in toast to Bob. Here’s a photo of that toast. “He was brilliant, kind, funny, fun, and would give you all the time in the world. He’d retired on Jan. 1 and was beginning to truly enjoy his days. I will miss him very much, and I know many of you will as well,” AMA Executive Director Deantha Skibinski said. “Thanks for the great idea to have a cheer to Bob — a good man who touched many of us.” 907-260-2605 | ipa907.com ALASKAN OWNED AND OPERATED • Pumps • Mechanical Seals • Gearboxes • Electric Motors • Compressors • Machining • Field Service NOME 303 Front St. 907-764-4367 FAIRBANKS 915 30th Ave. Unit 111 907-479-4653 EAGLE RIVER 11000 Old Glenn Hwy.
