I was sad to not see some mention of the anniversary of Al's passing ( April 28, 2004) . Al's contributions to FAOL played no small part in it's eventual success and certainly deserve an annual honorable mention in his memory. There was a collection of funds to erect a bench ( now situated at the Cleghorn Springs Trout Hatchery) similar to that of JC's bench in Grayling. Al was always available to answer questions and help by phone, e-mail or here on this board. His memory deserves much more.
