Bibb After 35-Year Career
PORTERDALE - “I forget to
tell you one important thing,”
telephoned Mrs. Myrt Almand,
following an interview on the day
of her retirement from active
service with the Bibb Manufac
turing Company. “I like to fish,
and I got a new rod and reel for
Mother’s Day so I’ll be doing
lots of fishing.”
For the past thirty-five years
and an extra year from 1928-
1929, Mrs. Lewis (Myrt) Al
mand has enjoyed her work in
the Osprey Plant’s Cloth Room
and Bag Weaving Department,
with the latter sixteen and a
half years in the Test Labora
tory, a part of which time she
worked for her husband, the late
Mr. Almand. Other supervisors
included George Willingham,
Pressley Boyd, John Waddleton,
Earnest Allen, and currently Gib
son Holifield.
“I am anxious to stay home
and garden,” she said. “I also
have a sister in San Antonio, Tex
as, and Mrs. Montine Cowan and
I just might go to visit her. We
may even take a trip to Nassau.”
(Mrs. Cowan is retiring from the
teaching profession and is a very
close friend of Mrs. Almand).
Mrs. Almand has two of her
children, Lewis Almand, Jr. and
Mrs. W. K. (Helen) Lunsford,
living in Covington while Mrs.
Paul (Jeannette) Baker lives in
La Fayette, Georgia. She has
seven grandchildren and one
great grandchild whose activities
she follows with interest and en
thusiasm.

in the laboratory call her, could
hardly believe they could guard
a secret, but on Friday, May 24,
they surprised her with a gift

Mrs. Milford Johnson, was ill

What else will Mrs. Almand
do this summer? Well, it just
wouldn’t be summer if she did
not attend Salem Camp Meeting,
a custom she had known and ob
served since youth.
