ROBERT PARRISH has filed a lawsuit against the estate of the
late BOB WOOLF, charging mismanagement of Parish's pension fund.
The suit claims that Woolf received "excessive commissions and
fees while mis-managing Parish's pension and investment funds."
Parish's attorney, Sydelle Pittas said the damage figure was
"close" to $300,000.  Officials at Bob Woolf Associates said they
knew nothing about the suit and had recently spoken to Parish,
who they still represent, and "had sensed no ill-will" (Peter
May, BOSTON GLOBE, 12/9).
