Gail and I got married in Genoa City, Wisconsin, surrounded by family and friends on 27 April 1974. For our honeymoon, we vacationed in Florida, spending most of our time in the Everglades and then returning to Miami.

We both loved the outdoors so we decided to honeymoon in the Everglades. Once there, Gail feared the marriage would be short because Al kept getting too close to the alligators. We soon got sunburned and had to wear warmer-than-desired clothing. While dating, Gail had introduced Al to bird watching so we both enjoyed seeing exotic species, such as Anhingas, Purple Gallinules, Louisiana Herons, and Wood Storks.
At the end of our stay in Florida, we visited a show at Sea world in Maimi.
