Personal:
Al is married with three sons and six grandchildren. All three sons were Scouts with two achieving Eagle and one also attaining the Arrow of Light. Al is a retired automotive engineer living with his wife in the beautiful ever changing Michigan countryside.
Why A Century of Values:
I have taught, witnessed, believed in and lived to the best of my ability the values of scouting. The passion to teach those values by example to, not only scouts, but to adult leaders along the way is more than a mountain top experience for me. A chance to say thanks and help an old buddy out was too good to turn down. Besides, the whole BSA program is FUN.
