Here's a report on a trust fund administrator for a $2.5 billion asbestos trust.

Certified public accountant Mark M. Gleason spends much of his time helping clients, either buyers or sellers, value an asset to determine a fair price. But the Pittsburgh accountant also is gaining a national reputation for knowing how to make assets last.

Gleason, 54, is one of three court-appointed trustees overseeing a $2.5 billion fund established to pay asbestos victims who can link their problems to exposure to products made by subsidiaries of Halliburton, the Houston, energy, engineering and construction services company once chaired by Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Well over one million claims could be submitted ... anywhere from today to 30 or 40 years from now," Gleason says.
