Al spent the first half of his professional career teaching high school English and coaching football and the second half returning to the farming he learned from his father. His oldest brother, Jack, was captured on Corregidor, launching Al’s interest and study of World War II. He’s currently retired, recently celebrated his fiftieth wedding anniversary with his wife, Nancy, and spends his spare time building birdhouses, which he sells at the local farmer’s market.view less
