Al Price has lived full-time at CCR with his wife, Pat, for the past 25 years. His parents originally bought their lot in 1951 sight unseen from a neighbor in Royal Oak who was moving out of state. The house( cabin) was roughed in and habitable by late 1951, and Al has been visiting most weekends ever since.
For most of his career, Al worked in mechanical contracting, a sector of the construction industry. Over the years, he was involved in more than 100 projects, including hotels, schools, restaurants, apartments, and small commercial buildings. After selling his business in Pontiac and his home in Holly, he moved to CCR full-time in 2000. Seeking a new hobby, Al— an engineer at heart and a car enthusiast— began building cars. While he no longer hunts, he strongly supports hunting as a respected and honorable pastime that is necessary for wildlife population control. With deep roots at CCR, Al values the community and its future. He was happy to volunteer for this committee.
