The History of Albert Lee

Being the savvy internet users that we are, Amy and I set off on our computers to find out everything we could about Albert Lee the mysterious character that had entered our lives. We searched Morgantown records and databases until we got a break! Turned out that Albert Lee was a professor that taught at WVU back in the 1960s and he lived right in our neighborhood, historic South Park. We even found the address of his house when he was a professor! Oh the wonders of the Internet, eh?
Unfortunately, there were no records of Albert since the late 70s, but we decided to hit the streets manually and search for traces of Albert ourselves. We figured out that Albert was 27 when he began teaching in the Philosophy department at WVU. The first records of him were from January 28th 1968 and the last from the same date, but in 1978.
"Well that's really weird, isn't it?" I asked Amy. "That he started and went missing on the same day, just ten years apart."
Amy was quiet, so I glanced over at her. Her face was as white as a sheet as she stared at me.
"Jen," she said, "Today is January 28th, 2008. It is forty years since he started teaching, and thirty years since he went missing."
I checked the calendar and sure enough, she was right.
