Cousin Stan And Alta Barer Contribute To University Of Washingon Law School

Nearly three years after Cousin Stan Barer's death, and five years after wife, Alta's passing.  The couple is making news again.

Reports are that the couple's estate has endowed the University of Washington one of its largest contributions ever.  The amount contributed to its law school reported to be 45 million dollars. 

In 2008, Stan and Alta made news 16 years ago, with a donation to the law school to start the Barer Institute for Law and Global Human Services. This program has opened law school up to deserving students, many in undeveloped countries.  

Stan Barer was an attorney, political consultant, Senate administrative assistant, shipping executive and community philanthropist.  Alta, was a fellow community activist and philanthropist. 

Clearly, the contributions that the couple have made to the area and around the world will bring benefits for generations to come.
