Personal
Albert’s parents were fearful that he was developmentally behind because he was such a late talker. He also failed his first college entrance exam. Albert was a ladies man and had numerous infidelities. Letters exist confirming the existence of an illegitimate child and also his not so nice treatment of significant others in his life. At one point, he was also married to his first cousin.
