They decided that the country life was what they preferred and began farming. Al had set a goal of having a ranch of his own, because he enjoyed working with livestock. They lived at several places along the way, and settled on their present place in 1977. He enjoyed being involved in a number of community activities including the Glen Ullin Museum, Glen Ullin and Morton County Historical Societies, Morton County Farm Bureau, school board, Knights of Columbus, and the local district Republican Party.
