Charles Alton "Al" Carter, who was better known as the "Shoeshine King" because of the high-buffed spit shine he delivered to customers for nearly 40 years from his bootblack stand in the old Hamburger's department store, died of a bacterial infection Aug. 10 at the Augsburg Lutheran Home and Village. He was 86. Mr. Carter was born and raised in Dinwiddie County, Va., the son of a sharecropper. "Al wasn't ashamed of his humble and poor beginning. His mother died when he was very young, and he and his brothers were raised by their father, Samuel Carter," said Frances Keene, a cousin who lives in Baltimore.
