I found Al to be a quiet guy. Somehow, despite being in two different runt companies, me in M-1 and Al in A-2, we formed a bonding friendship. His parents were overseas our Yearling Christmas and he and his sister, Melicent, didn't have any place to go. They spent it with the Turners in Springfield, MO. My parents were quite impressed with his manners and his engaging companionship with my two younger brothers. Al kept in touch with my parents until his death. Alas, his sister is gone, too. I miss them both. |
