Carroll’s
most famous librarian James “Alby” Albertson passed away on June 6 after a
brief illness. The library that Albertson held open attracted many visitors to
the Quint Avenue location. Visitors included teachers, a school board
President, a local community college official, a former girls basketball coach, a former executive director, many
members of the Ike Auen Distributing Company and a high school superintendent just to name a few.
Close friend Rob Cordes recently told this publisher about the first time 14
years ago when a fellow facility member invited him to the library where he met the
man in charge. Cordes has been a regular patron of the library for all of those years and I know that he will always have the great memories to remember.
A neighbor of Alby’s for six years Rachel Buchanan recalls the
day that she was packing to leave with now husband Gordon. In his caring style
Alby looked at Gordon and said “if I was twenty years younger she wouldn’t be
leaving with you so take care of her.” Buchanan made the 815 mile trek from
Nashville to Carroll to pay her respects to the neighbor who she has so many
fond memories of.
Many topics were covered over the years at this establishment
but all this publisher knows that there was no arguing about the future of this
library, no grandstanding at the local city council meeting or no newspaper
articles voicing concerns about how much square feet there should be. You see
the 1,022 square feet of space on the main floor of this Quint Avenue home was a place where people
respected each other and came to unwind from life’s stresses. I enjoyed the few
times that I visited the famous library and
always got a smile on my face when I saw him buzzing around on that scooter
even on days that were not fit for riding. The memories of the library and the
man who operated it could produce more books than any library could hold.
Alby…………….”Thanks
for how you treated people. A treatment that each and every one you met will
cherish for a lifetime and “As always this Bud’s for you.”
Some housekeeping items to mention.....
Happy Belated birthdays to Steve Sinnard, Scott Kanne, Dave Nelson and Payton White
This report would like to wish a speedy recovery to Phil Dukes who broke his leg in Mexico while attending his son's 40th birthday celebration.
A huge shout out to everyone at the Carroll Country Club for a wonderful Carroll AM this past weekend.
That is all that I have for now! Off to God's country and the black and gold pins at the Finkbine Golf Course.
Have a great week! Fairways and greens to all!
Mike Franey
