Yep Al was an interesting guy. He loved speed and kept all his "toys" in a building for all to see right off I-10 as you approach New Orleans from the west. It was not unusual to see him take one of his turbine powered offshore racers into Lake Pontchartrain for a little joy ride. During the Mardi gras parades Al would put all his toys right in the middle of the parade from Monster trucks,Boss Hog motorcycles,nascar cars,his motorhome and finally one his large offshore race boats with Al and his family riding on the boat throwing our Mardi Gras trinkets.....
