For over a half century visitors to Man-O-War Cay enjoyed the hospitality of Norman Albury. He was a descendant of one of the oldest families in the islands and entertained guests to his island in that tradition. Not only did he point out the delights of Man-O-War Cay but also sang island songs, recited poetry and told stories. During his long life and career, Norman Albury was a school teacher, carpenter and salesman.

He served his community well as a member of the Local Board of Works and as an honorary mayor of Man-O-War Cay.
