My grandfather was Comptroller of Auburn from 1928-1932. My 2 uncles graduated from Auburn. My Mama and Daddy graduated from Auburn [1944 and 1952 in that order]. My Daddy was in the Army, housed at “Auburn Hall.” Mama lived there with her parents. She Baptist and he Lutheran, they met at a dance at the Episcopal Church and were married in Buffalo, NY [his hometown], in January 1944. I was born 180 days later.
I attended Auburn in 1963-64 and lived in Auburn Hall. My daughter attended Troy State, transferred to Auburn in 1990 and graduated in 1992. She married an Auburn student in 1992; he graduated 1997. They live in “L-A” as Lower Alabama is affectionately known where he teaches High School history.
My son opted out of College but is an ardent Auburn fan. He lives in middle Tennessee and his son attends MTSU.
Auburn is an integral part of my family and our personalities.
WAR “Cam” EAGLE!
Which means that you and I are related. Our story is similar except that you go back one generation further. My FIL graduated in ‘51 and that side of the family all have roots in and around Lee and Chambers Counties.
Welcome to this thread! War Eagle!
Your story is like many I’ve heard. It is family. I thought it was really cool when my daughter and niece joined the band, made friends and discovered their friends were the children of hubby and my friends.
It’s an Auburn World!
