    I bumped in to a customer I had not seen in 20 years, and as I reached out my arm he said, There's that smile.
    Thank you so much for your kind words it means a great deal to me.

    As an insider in to Al's life I will say this, he looks at life from a mechanics point of view. This is said in a great way, not negative. He analysis stuff and tackles it piece by piece, much like he would a nice Porsche. His daily driver car is a stunner too!

    Thanks Ralph. It was a unique pleasure working with Al.
    I was very interested & intrigued by his tequila collecting & tastings - my brother & I do the same with our wine collections. And who doesn't love Porsches and the thrills of race cars? To top it off, all of Al's pics - himself & lovely family in particular - were awesome !
    All of the selected spotlight members I've had the pleasure to work with to date have been wonderful people whom I really enjoyed sharing time with - this part of my small contribution to the forum is quite great fun !
    I don't do it all alone however - always get a great deal of help from Pat, and this time around, from Ricardo.
