We were good friends and fraternity brothers at UO. One time when we were 19, 2 years too young to drink legally, we had imbibed a few too many, so the bartender at the Springfield Lounge refused to serve us. Al called the police. After some Murray BS, they persuaded the bartender to serve us one more round.

I really enjoyed my conversations with Allen at The Mount Tam Racquet Club.
I ran the Gym there and sometimes had PT Sessions with Allen.

We would talk Sports of course, politics and anything in the news almost every day for a few years.

I have fond memories of Allen.

Off to a better place.

God Bless

Go Giants!!!
