Raymond and Pete - February 13, 2013
Posted: February 13, 2013 | Last Revised: February 13, 2013
One story I have heard about Uncle Raymond, aka Raymond Rudolf Albert, is when he and another uncle, Uncle Clarence, or Pete as we called him, were both at the seminary together in Ohio or Iowa. Seems kind of out of the ordinary to think of Uncle Ray attending the seminary, doesn't it? Uncle Raymond really enjoyed books and the story goes that the library was closed or that the section Ray wanted to get into was closed; however, that did not stop my Uncle Raymond. With aiding and abetting by Uncle Pete, Uncle Ray was able to get over a barrier and into his world of books. There was also something about figuring out a way to get enough light to read by-maybe some form of lantern, as not to attract attention. I do not recall ever hearing if Uncle Ray ever got caught, or for that matter, Uncle Pete, for aiding and abetting his brother in trespassing.
