Albright’s most treasured pin is a clay heart made and given to her on Valentine’s Day by Katie, her youngest daughter, then aged five. More recently, with her three daughters in mind, Albright bought this trio of sailboats. The ships are beautiful, graceful, and moving along at full sail, having long since left port.
