Al and Dorothy were working at the laboratory at Tripler Army Hospital in late 1952 when I was assigned there as a draftee in the Korean War. They were unmarried at the time and we became lifelong friends. When they announced their wedding plans in 1954 after we were all discharged, Al asked me to be the “Best Man” at their wedding. When I married my late wife, Shirley, we visited them in Hayward, and have kept in contact over the past 62 years. I was again honored when asked to be the Godfather to Susan, their third child. Last year (2016) I published a nonfiction book, “American Outrage,” a chronicle history of my ongoing attempt to gain acceptance by the President and Congress to implement the proposal to solve the third cause of death in the U.S.: preventable medical errors that take the lives of 440,000 each year at costs exceeding one trillion dollars. In that book and in the Epilogue I mentioned Al’s special invitation to be the Best Man. I am honored to have befriended both Al and Dorothy, and also to be the Godfather to Susan. They are a loving family. Beau Chapman
