Did You Know Rena Teel?

Alabama Heritage writers are working on an article on Rena Teel (Irene Vansandt, married to B. R. Teel), the Alabama fortune teller. We would love to hear from anyone who knew Mrs. Teel or has stories about her. We are particularly interested in finding photos of her. We would also love to hear from relatives, people who knew her personally, and people who had readings done by her. If you have any information or photos of Mrs. Teel, please contact Assistant Editor Elizabeth Wade at bucka001@crimson.ua.edu.


Maury D. Smith
1927–2009

It is with great sadness we say farewell to Maury D. Smith, who served as the president of the Alabama Heritage Foundation Board of Directors since its inception in 1996 until his death in Montgomery on May 24, 2009. Maury was our champion and defender through the best and worst of times—and has been vital to our long-term survival. The Summer 2009 issue of the magazine will contain our salute to this great man and his selfless service to Alabama Heritage and the state.

Godspeed, Maury, we will miss you!
