I am so sorry for your loss. Al was an amazing man. He was a gifted storyteller and his optimistic view on life was infectious. If you would like to hear a little of his story, you can listen to him tell about his military service and his time as a POW in WWII at the Veteran's History Project at the Library of Congress website here:http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/bib/loc.natlib.afc2001001.60382
