From verbal history and first hand witness, it has always been clear that Alfred and Eddie redefined sibling loyalty. Through out their life they always supported each other. Like all Saba’s they fought but never held a grudge, tempers would flare up and cool down just as fast. One things was always true, never get between them!

In on of the article below I learned something. Alfred was the Manager of the WHS Football team! An athlete himself but not a football player he found a way to support his brother and be involved!
