This is from my mother Rosemary (Lydon) Eldridge who worked with Al in Boston in the 50s:
I remember Al Hankard fondly.  We were coworkers at S.D.Warren Paper Company, before it became Scott Paper. We shared many "barb", we would kid round. He was a great guy. I have such good memories. Rest in Peace Al - Sincerely Rosemary (Lydon)
