UMM has named Reid Albee of East Machias as technology support specialist. His responsibilities
include installation and maintenance of computers utilized by university personnel.
Albee works under the supervision of Marilyn Hudzina, director of campus technology. A nontraditional
student at UMM, Albee, 48, elected to postpone completion of coursework leading to a bachelor of arts
degree in behavioral science to accept the full-time position. He has been involved in computer technology,
mostly as an avocation, since 1977 when he attended an electronics school in Amityville, N.Y.
Albee graduated from Washington Academy in East Machias in 1971. He served four years in the U.S. Air
Force and two years in the National Guard. Over the years, Albee worked as a correspondent for area newspapers including County Wide and the Bangor Daily News. Later, he joined the Ellsworth American,
where he served as director of photography and sports editor. Reid is the son of Francis and Helen Albee
of the Hadley’s Lake District of East Machias.
In 1996, UMM’s new technology support specialist took a part-time position at the University of Maine’s
Interactive Television Center in Ellsworth. There, he repaired and maintained computers and taught the
WordPerfect program. He is currently certified in networking, PC repair and various Windows programs.
Reid has also worked closely with George Phillips of Machias for over 12 years. Reid points to Phillips,
who runs Advanced Computers and Electronics, as being his "technology mentor."
Before being appointed to a full-time position at UMM, Albee was employed 10 hours a week providing
special student support activities. He also served as manager of the student center and the
campus radio station.
His academic interest – behavioral science – was fostered by work with various domestic violence
intervention programs. He was associated with Metanoia, a batterers’ intervention project at
St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Machias and earlier with Carriage House in Harrington.
He continues to do volunteer work for assistance agencies.
Albee said his goal as a technology specialist is to provide fast responses to calls for assistance and
to improve the environment at computer workstations across the Machias campus.
"I’m committed to campus computer technology," he said.  "As a recent student, I can identify
particularly with student needs in the computer field."
While he is still interested in behavioral sciences and intends to earn his last three undergraduate
credits in the future, Albee’s long-range goal is to enhance his own computer skills. Any post-graduate
academic endeavors would be in that field, he said.
"Computer technology is always changing," he said. "You have to learn something new every day."

Not any more--if it is up to Reid!
