Albritton siblings together for fun weekend The twelve surviving siblings, traveling from Virginia to California, of Elgie (Little Sam) and Ester Albritton came together in Mason for a few days of fun and togetherness during the weekend of April 26. This was the first time all siblings had been together since the 2006 family reunion in Chicago. Activities were held at the homes of brothers Julius, and his wife Janice, and Rufus. Outdoor activities included group fishing for catfish, target skeet shooting and trips to a casino. Highlights of the weekend involved eating! Julius hosted and served as master chef for a tremendous Friday night fish fry. Included were a fun “roasting� of Rufus and learning the steps to three line dances taught by Raymond, a line dance coach in Indianapolis. More than 50 spouses, significant others, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends enjoyed the event. The group was treated to a humongous breakfast Saturday morning, consisting of smoked sausages, pork sausage, rag baloney, scrambled eggs, fried white potatoes, cheese toast and orange juice! Larry assisted Chef Julius. Family members enjoyed sharing stories and reminiscing of bygone days growing up in the Cannan Community in Mason. James proposed a reunion idea for next year, accepted overwhelmingly by everyone, emphasizing attendance by all cousins, grand kids and great-grand kids. Deceased siblings are Helen Albritton-Rozar, Roland Albritton, Willie Albritton and Evelyn Albritton-Carter.

Citizens of Tipton County, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Conneye Thompson Albright and I need your help. As an educator at Munford Middle School, I am always telling my students to be involved, to make a difference in the world and always try to do the right thing when dealing with others, so I am following my own advice. With a desire to help and protect public education and seeing so many empty store fronts in our county, I feel moved to take action. I need your help to become the State Representative for the 81st District (all of Tipton County). My education includes a Bachelors of Education from the University of Memphis, Masters in Education Administration from Trevecca Nazarene University and an additional certification in Library Science from Union University. I have worked Vacation Bible School at Fellowship Baptist Church, volunteered with Keep Tipton County Beautiful, and helped produce the school newspaper. My involvement at Munford Middle School, also includes being a member of the athletics committee, and serving as treasurer, vice president and president of the Parent-Teacher Organization. During my summer months, I work with the technology department of Tipton County Schools to repair and upgrade computers throughout the county so that all the students have the best technology we can provide. Along with Daniel, my husband of 32 years, my sons, Nathan and Benjamin, my parents, James and Clara Thompson and my sister, Donna Vandiver all are residents of Tipton County; consequently, my roots run deep in T-county. As your State Representative, I will stand for quality education for our children, economic development in our cities and the future of our citizens both young and old.
