He started as a boy scout leader at New Hope, the 4-H Club, Farm Bureau NC Soybean Association, Seedsmen Association, Foundation Seed Association, and was instrumental in getting the Durants Neck Fire Department established. He had a big part in getting the New Bold White House restored and in the building of the Visiting Center and getting it open to the public. Albert was a member of Woodland United Methodist Church. He loved to read, especially about history, and to talk about it all the time. Albert and his father built several homes in Perquimans County. He even helped in the building of the Jimmy Hunter Bridge and dropped his hammer in the river. Albert was in the National Guard for several years and served four years in the U. S. Air Force.
