Mary Lea, So sorry to hear about AL. I took Economics from him in High School and it had a lasting influence on me. He was probably the single biggest reason i ended up working in banking Later I played on the Alpines with him, not as big an influenc but more fun. I saw him more recently a couple of years ago at the Alpines 50 year reunion. It was good to have the chance. .
