Dear Jeanine: So sorry to hear of Alvin's passing. I knew Al was in the service, was he in Vietnam? Any Agent Orange exposure problems? I am fighting with the VA now over my exposure in Korea. I have a lot of buddies suffering from cancer and heart probems, which is my situation. Again, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Alvin was a good friend back at Columbian.
