I met Al at Menningers. We were both patients there. We were both on Men's Work Group. The more I got to know Al, the more I liked him. When we both got out of the hospital, we spent time together. He bought a farm north of Lawrence and began farming organically, unusual for a guy who grew up in Sutton Place, one of the most expensive places to live in the world, smackdab in the heart of Manhattan, NYC. His great-grandfather was a partner of J.P. Morgan. His father, who owned five mansions around the world, chose the one in Virginia in which to blow his brains out against the wall of one of the 23 bedrooms. Al was up at 6 every morning in his overalls to begin driving his tractor in the fields and didn't stop until the sun went down. You'd never know Al was a billionaire, unless you became a buddy of his, which I did. He was a bit eccentric person at times, however. For example, he enjoyed buying mostly classic foreign cars which he had fun driving around for a few months, then driving each into the field next to his small house and left them there. From time to time I'd drive down from Topeka to his farm, then the two of us would go to a steakhouse just outside of Lawrence, then eat and chat. Al was one of the nicest guys I ever met.
