Highlights were: enlargements of his photographs, since 1955 mostly in color, that line his walls; teaching music and giving piano and organ concerts for 50 years; employment with exterminating companies in Connecticut from 1950 to 1981, dealing with the public in castles and slums; practicing on and composing for piano and organ beginning under Professor Homer Whitford in Hanover, and continuing under several great artists, the last being the foremost pianist in Italy where Al was stuck in the mud for two years in WW II as clerk-typist with Bomb Squadron 772; now in Hernniker, N.H., pedaling his bicycle for pleasure and errands, giving a few concerts, composing a little, and lecturing an Elder Hostel group. Attached was a list of over 100 of his compositions and arrangements. Al, if you attend our 60th I'll bring that sheet music.
