Mr. Anderson has been active in the restructuring of several Plantagenet investments including Bonneville-Pacific Corporation, and Dalgety plc. In 1974 after a number of years in sales, brokerage and arbitrage, Mr. Anderson formed his own securities brokerage firm, C.D. Anderson & Co., Inc., which was active in the then new field of discount brokerage.
