U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
450 - 5th Street, NW

RE:  Registration Statement on Form S-8 for Alamco, Inc.

Dear Sir or Madam:

     I am acting as counsel to Alamco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering
150,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.10 per
share, which may be issued to certain officers and/or key management employees
of the Company upon exercise of stock options granted under the Alamco, Inc.
1992 Employees Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). 

     I am familiar with the Registration Statement and the 1992 Plan.  I have
reviewed a certified copy of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, certificates of public officials, corporate proceedings of the Company,
and other documents as needed to express the opinions contained herein.

     On the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

     (1)   The Company is duly incorporated and legally existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has an authorized capital consisting of 16,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of which 15,000,000 shares
have been designated as Common Stock, and 1,000,000 shares designated as
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, and;

     (2)   The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Plan, and when issued in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan, the shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     I consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration
Statement. 

Very truly yours,


/s/ Bridget D. Furbee
