A major organizer and administrator of the present National Park Service, Albright, 96, spent a decade as superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, was a key figure in adding the Grand Tetons to the system, and is the author of a book, “The Birth of the National Park Service,” chronicling the founding of the organization. He has also been an honorary vice president of the Sierra Club for 49 years.
