    I just saw this cause my brother died, but Al was my mother's half brother. Westley Ralston, his father, was my grandfather. Al and my mother were not close but I have fond memories of the few times I'd met Albert, he gave my brother, sister and I pictures of our grandfather that we didn't have. I'm sorry about your Dad, he was a great guy and he and my mother had Westley Ralstons chin! Sorry,,,,,your cousin,, Mary
