The interviews of Reuben Albaugh were conducted by John E. Spurlock, Julius Trescony and Ken Ellis with an introduction by J. Earl Coke. "In 1927, Rube married Vira McKenzie. That same year, he was employed by the University of California Cooperative Extension Service. He officially retired in 1967, but continued active as an emeritus for another 23 years. Even after that he could be found often in his office in the Department of Animal Science at UCD, working on publications and correspondence until a few days before his death on October 8, 1995. From 1927 to 1949 Rube was a livestock farm advisor in Monterey County. He supervised the 4-H Club program for 8 years, and for 22 years was in charge of the Dairy Program, helping the dairy herds in the county be among the highest producers in the state. He was instrumental in obtaining 5 Thoroughbred remount stallions for enhancing the quality and performance of light horses in the county." (U. C. Davis website) ; Signed by Biographee. Very Good+ .
