Description
BOOCHEVER, Justice. OPINION This appeal concerns the interpretation of a contract and the application of facts to that interpretation. Oma Belle Day is a widow in her late seventies who homesteaded property in the Valdez area 25 to 30 years ago. The discovery of oil on the North Slope and the plan to pipe oil to Valdez made the homesteaded property potentially valuable for commercial development. A & G Construction Co., Inc. became interested in the land and commenced negotiations with Oma Day regarding its purchase. On June 27, 1969, two documents were executed by Mrs. Day and A & G. The documents were drafted by A & G's attorney, W. C. Arnold. They were executed in his office in the presence of Oma Day and George Atkinson, President of A & G. Charles Jett, an A & G employee engaged to develop the Day property in Valdez, and several members of Oma Day's family were also present. Mrs. Day was not represented by counsel.
