Al's Story
Would love to hear from old friends and acquaintances about how they're doing. Please use my direct email, disguised below because otherwise Classmates blocks it:
My first name, then the usual "at" sign. Then my first and last name stuck together. Then the most usual ending, as in the first three letters of "commune."
After leaving KHS, I tried college, but eventually volunteered for duty in the army, winding up in the inevitable place. (See photo.) Afterward, I went to MU-Columbia, got two masters over time and taught for a few years.
I own two small businesses now. Most of my time is taken up serving as Vice President of Excalibur Electronics. I spend much of the year at our offices in Hong Kong, where I manage our operations in China. I also manage all licensing for Excalibur, which is headquartered in Miami.

published books, many of them on the game of chess. You can usually find something by me, along with my writing partner Lev Alburt (the brains of our partnership), in the chess section at the Barnes and Noble. Our latest is a fat tome entitled "Chess Openings for White, Explained."
My wife Daphne (a former Fulbright scholar and lifelong looker) and I have a 100+ year-old farmhouse (our favorite place) about 70 miles northwest of Manhattan, New York, and also own a place in Miami. But I spend much of my time in an apartment in Hong Kong, where I have a view of Victoria Bay. (See photo.)
I like playing tennis and chess, reading and writing. But more than anything else, I like being with Daphne and our family of cats and our American Bulldog, Rocky (see photo), in our farmhouse near New Paltz, New York.
I'd love to hear from classmates and friends of classmates.
