North Canton -- The next time your work seems tiresome when you wake up in the morning, and you seek a way to avoid it, think of Leland Albaugh. When your children exaggerate a sickness to be absent from school, tell them about the 12 years Albaugh attended Sebring schools without missing a day or even being tardy. "Lee" Albaugh, now 76 and retired, said his name and picture appeared in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" because of the streak. Believe it. A newspaper article printed as Albaugh approached graduation in 1926 attests to the perfect attendance. "Albaugh has been fortunate in his school life," the article claimed. "I was sick in the summer," Albaugh, who lives at 1413 Lipton Ave. SW, now explains. Still, the streak was not easy to maintain. 'I went to school once with a broken arm," he recalled. "I had fallen down the cellar steps."
Minor sniffles were ignored because Albaugh had the motivation to attend classes each day. "May father (Homer) was a member of the (Sebring) board of education," he explained. "And my mother was a schoolteacher. They wanted me in school..." That might even explain the perfect year that Albaugh spent at Mount Union College. But, were his parents there to watch him when he began working at Transue-Williams in 1927, where he continued to toil until 1945? No. And did he accumulate absences? "Nope, didn't miss any there," he said. Albaugh did call of work for "about two weeks" spread over the next 27 years at the Ford plant. "The day I retired I went to work picking in an orchard," Albaugh said. " I worked there for five years. I never missed a day there, either." The nearly 25 years Albaugh bowled, years filled with championships, but as you might expect, were totally devoid of the need for substitutes. "That's just the way I was raised," he said, and that's also the way he remains. "I don't like anybody to be late. If I say I'm going to be there at 7, I'm there at 7."
