There were many variations on the theme. New Hampshire Attorney John Ahlgren advertised "free legal services for people hit by falling pieces of Skylab" outside his Portsmouth office.

Both current editors Frank Ahlgren of the Commercial Appeal and Charles Schneider of the Press-Scimitar, are members of the city's biracial commission, which has tried to smooth the way for peaceful desegregation in Memphis...
...G.F.W.C.'s new head, Mrs. Ahlgren promptly took a stand on two controversial issues that came up during last week's convention in Minneapolis: she praised a resolution backing the U.N.; she explained the membership's decision not to back federal aid to education.
