Glenn Richard Albert of Williamsburg, Va., devoted brother and uncle, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2009, at age 46. Left to cherish his memory are his loving sister, Patricia A. Albert of Williamsburg and her husband, William Talley. He was preceded in death by his parents, George R. Albert and Josephine F. Albert of Prince George County. Also left to cherish his memory are his niece, Kelsey Albert of Orange County, Calif.; and nephew, Trevor Albert of Williamsburg and Washington, D.C. He is also survived by his dear aunts, Mrs. Mary Gross of Ohio, Mrs. Rose Ann Albert of Long Beach, Calif., and Dr. Lin Albert Tallman Neal, of Newport Beach, Calif.; and an uncle, Mr. Edward Albert of Augusta, Maine. Glenn spent much of his early life as an "Army brat," living in Italy and around the United States. As a youth, he enjoyed scouting and playing football. He graduated from Prince George High School and Richard Bland College of the College of William and Mary with a business degree. He loved fishing, sports, and was an avid ancient coin connoisseur. Although a car accident rendered him paraplegic at age 21, he remained kind, loving, and always willing to help others. To those who knew him, he had a razor sharp wit and sense of humor, and was always learning new information about the world. He loved puzzles, mind-teasers, and surfing the Internet. One of Glenn's legacies is the inspiration he sparked in his niece, Kelsey. Glenn's paraplegia was the source of Kelsey's inspiration to go into stem cell research. Kelsey is currently at The University of California, Irvine Medical Center, where she manages a translational research laboratory focusing on cancer stem cells, neural stem cells, chemotherapy, and neuro-regeneration. She hopes that the work she does may someday lead to stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury, brain tumors, and other neurological diseases or impairments. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the UCI Stem Cell Research Center. Please contact Shana Bannert, Director of Community Development, at (949) 824-8047 or visit: http://stemcell.uci.edu/outreach/giving.cfm.

BURTON, L. Virginia, age 90, of Urbanna, passed away Sunday, February 22, 2009. She was born in St. Louis, Mo., grew up in Richmond, Va., and spent most of her summers in Urbanna, Va. Her parents were Dr. Marvin and Maybelle Burton. After graduating from Barnard College in New York City, Ms. Burton worked in the Egyptian Department of the Brooklyn Museum. She next worked her way up to become the head curator of Egyptology for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her proudest accomplishment was overseeing the removal of the Temple of Dendur from Egypt and rebuilding it inside the Metropolitan Museum, where it can be visited today. Her love of boating and fishing were inherited from her father and also from her grandfather, Columbus Burton, who owned and operated Burton's Steamboat Wharf in Urbanna. A carpenter and colorful entrepreneur, Mr. Burton was noted for the excellent quality of the wooden oyster tong shafts he also made and sold at Burton's Wharf. After 30 years with the museum, Virginia Burton made her home in Urbanna in 1976. She was a courageous, brilliant woman who taught herself to read Egyptian hieroglyphics. Her good friend, the writer Thomas Merton who she knew in New York, visited with her in Urbanna and mentioned her in his journals. Traveling throughout the Mideast, Ms. Burton journeyed (often alone) to many distant archaeological spots, where her charm led her through many hazardous encounters. Her joyousness, quick wit and hilarious stories of old Urbanna, New York and Egypt will be missed. She is survived by cousins and many special friends of all ages.
