William Kastler meets Professor Kastler
William V. Kastler was a corporate lawyer for Gulf Oil from 1956 until 1982. He continued consulting for Gulf and Chevron until 1987, when he then retired to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Like many Kastlers, Bill had an interest in genealogy long before we had the Internet, and the vast information available to us today.
