Alice Tipton LaFleur, who concluded her career in UGA’s Office of Institutional Research and the Physical Plant, has recently issued her second publication, “Always Alice After All,” a personal narrative and continuation of her previous nonfiction title “Sir and Miss Annie.”

Both publications can be found here.

This new memoir depicts drama — and sorrow — alongside heartfelt moments, happiness and thrill, along with humor and laughter, as well. It navigates through episodic recollections of her youth and adult experiences, providing a vibrant and enlightening portrayal of her formative years spent with her parents in Japan, Korea, and Fort Lee, Virginia, and later as a somewhat rebellious teenager in Turkey and, what she affectionately terms, “Ala-damn-bama.”

Her time at university in Knoxville and Fort Collins, followed by her transition to the University of Georgia for advanced studies, led to more escapades, two degrees, but also hurdles and even heartache. The later segments of the memoir narrate her relocation from Athens to Mississippi with her future husband, and subsequently their years in Georgia, raising children, establishing a home, and enduring the turmoil and sorrow of a separation.

The book wraps up with her encounter, romance, marriage, and enjoying retirement with her second spouse, a faculty member in UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences’ classics division, along with their ongoing journeys and travels between their home in Lake Oglethorpe in Arnoldsville and their holiday retreats in Little Switzerland, North Carolina, and along the Florida Panhandle.
