Lee & Patty

3/30/2015

 
Patty: "I worked in Hollywood for 35 years before purchasing some property and relocating to Byhalia, Mississippi. I thought I would never want to get married again, and I definitely wasn't interested in any more actor, director, or producer types. I decided that if I did remarry, the man would have to be nice, wear a suit, and carry a briefcase. *laughs* Lee met all three of those qualifications. And he was funny. He made me laugh; he still does. We had a few ups and downs getting to know each other, but within six months of meeting, we were married. We've always had a lot of fun together. It's important never to lose your sense of humor. Our marriage has changed over the years, but we have a strong foundation. As you get older and your body no longer works the way it used to, the foundation you've built and the support of family and friends will help get you through the hard times."

Lee: "The first time I met Patty, we talked for hours. I thought she was cute and had interesting things to say, and she didn't try to dominate the conversation. When I called after that and asked her out for dinner, she said, 'No, I'm busy, but you can go with me to an event at church if you want to. I have 2 tickets.' I thought, 'Oh no, a Bible-thumper', but I went anyway. Turned out, the event was something called 'How to Save Your Marriage.' *laughs* That was 23 years ago."

Lee and Patty Albrecht started the Mississippi River Rangers, a Cowboy Action Shooting club, in 1996. This reenactment group meets monthly and holds an annual shooting match using guns from the 1850's-1890's. Fans of Western history can watch the cowboys in action at 2432 Rabbit Ridge Road in Byhalia, Mississippi, just a few miles south of Memphis. Although the Albrechts now reside in Memphis, they continue to participate in the group's activities.

In the wake of the 1982 Tylenol poisoning crisis and while in the employ of Alcoa Manufacturing, Lee Albrecht designed the tamper-evident bottle cap. This design was subsequently used throughout the pharmaceutical industry and eventually expanded to include the oil industry as well.
