Board and Staff

Dr. Gary Goby
Albany Carousel & Museum Board of Directors
Board Member from 2005-2021

Dr. Gary Goby has retired from the Albany Carousel’s Board of Directors after over 16 years of service.

Dr. Goby was instrumental in making Founder Wendy Kirbey’s dream come true.  He worked tirelessly from the beginning of the project in 2005, taking charge of day-to-day operations during construction, and then continuing with projects and improvements around the building.   Whether we needed a new sign, a new museum space, or fundraising help, no project was out of his reach.

We will always appreciate his interest in everything from woodworking and metallics, to animals, kids, art, and music.  He proved time and again that he could do most anything he put his mind to and moved easily from one task to another.  He is an effortless and generous organizer with a get-it-done attitude.  He will be missed.

We wish him well as he continues his endeavors for the betterment of the Albany community, including the Creating Housing Coalition, Hub City Village, and the Cumberland Church project.
