Rich Klein And I consider him a hobby friend. Al has done a lot for the hobby, brought a lot of cool items into the hobby and when you really get a chance to chat with him, is truly a decent person from whom I learned a lot about the hobby.
I can say that, because for 3 consecutive years in the 1980's, I sat next to him on a plane returning from the National -- and I learned so much chatting with him that I consider those some of the best investments I have ever made.
Can he be boorish, yes. Can he be charming, yes.
Would I trust him in a deal, yes!

Rich Klein
