Albert married his best friend and love of his life on December 28, 1967, Donna Moon. The couple came up with the idea to buy a resort in Missouri, but plans fell thru with the first place and a new resort by the name of Cedars Resort (located on Stormy Point) near Branson, MO came open to buy. They purchased the business in 1973 and ran it until 1981. Albert was offered a new position with Ozark Mt Bank (now Central Bank) where he was involved in economic and business development in the Branson area. Al became known as the main person for the Branson/Hollister area in pioneering economic and business development for the area. Along this path Albert served on a lot of boards including board of alderman in Branson as well as became friends with a lot of business leaders and politicians of the area.
