Read numerous hunting & fishing exploits that Al was gracious enough to indulge us with . Some of his hunting & fishing stories occurred North of the border in the very areas that I continue to explore annually . I was enjoying mutual pm ' s with Al towards the end . He mentioned that he always wanted to hunt Moose in unit #37 . I mentioned to him upon return from a very successful hunt that he had been there in spirit , since I had revived one of his fishing stories with my 2 yr old grand child one evening around our family campfire . He appreciated that , little did I know how soon the end was for him . He sent a few more messages , then the keyboard went silent . I sent a few more replys , they went unanswered . It wasn'ts over , at least not for us , he still is in our conversation every yr at hunting & fishing camp , especially when ever my grand child asks me to tell him another one of Al's hunting or fishing stories at the campfire . God Bless you Al , thanks for your passion towards nature & your wonderful story telling Sir !
