AL WAS ALBERT JOESPH LIEBERMAN, SON OF SAMUEL LIEBERMAN ,AN IMPORT FROM AUSTRIA,FLEEING NAZI INVADERS TO AMERICA IN THE EARLY THIRTIES.AS A JEW ,HIS ATTITUDE ABOUT RACE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE UNDERSTANDING,BUT AL WAS NOT VERY GRAIOUS TO OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE,HE OFTEN USED THE N WORD.Well,not much to say about Al.A fake all his life,he inherited,his main occupation, and died in 2007.Accordiningly, his family was related to ben seigle, the jewish gangster, and joe lieberman.AL was always blending stories to his likeing. He was a hard man to like and even harder to believe,i did not bother.
