My wife's influence kept me working as a Licensed Master Plumber for 45 years when I really wanted to be a lawyer. The fact that she purchased all food in Jumbo and Family Size to feed ten kids, kept me at my trade, since it paid better then law.

My weekly sessions on the couch were my newspaper columns entitled Funny Side Up, which kept me busy nights for the last twenty of the forty five years doing plumbing. My head was either in my typewriter or under a clients sink. Publications include: a dozen articles in Popular Science Homeowner's How-To; Liberty, Good News,(2) Good Reading (2) Sunshine (2) Lutheran Digest(2) Dana'a Literary Society On-line Journal (2) Natural Health Magazine (March 2002 issue)Homeopathy Today (June 2002) Successful Contractor's Magazine (2) enabledonline.com,  American Homeopath  (2005), a filler in Reminisce and well over dozen weekly newspapers.

We are grateful for our book Broken Glass And All  being out in 8 countries (only one or two in each) Publishers and agents told us we would be lucky to sell 100 copies of such a book. Pod/Vanity Press' says 200 would be doing well. We are pushing 400.  Not a Best Seller, but reaching those in need, which is why it was written: to give hope and encouragement.

Funny Side Up, our humorous anthology of a newspaper column, is like-wise doing well on the net: 450 in two printings.

Not bad for a plumber, turned hack.The boys in da hood think it's cool. Not only can a kid from East Harlem read, he's written two books!



Birth Place: NYC, NY USA

Accomplishments: Received a bronze plague for Bravery in Battle while raising ten kids. Completed a book on the subject, that most sadistic readers believe to be hilarious. What is funny about raising ten kids; a bird dog, a bird, a cat who drinks from a fishbowl,and two gold fish named "Dinner" and Dessert" all crowded into a small four bedroom house with only two bathrooms?

Additional information

The Funny Side Up became an anthology of hilarious columns, and Al's battle with an incurable autoimmune disease, Polymyositis, became his second book: Broken Glass And All. While fighting the muscle disease, which retired Al from plumbing, he waged battle with America's conventional medicine. After wasting muscle and $52,000, Al went to Montreal and found a cure through Naturopathic Medicine, and Homeopathy.The book gives inspiration to those with an autoimmune disease, while offering Hope through Faith in God. Reads like a novel, from the author's days on the streets of East Harlem, up through his battle and cure.
