Travel Spirit

Wiley Turnipseed ’04 during his trip to India for training seminars with his engineering group.

“It's always nice to see an Auburn shirt riding on top of an elephant...
War Eagle! I know that we have alumni travel the globe all of the time but this was particularly interesting to me considering the mascot of our arch-rival.”

Football Memories

In 2002 my daughter Julie Anne Zorn marched one of her last home games as a senior. She had been the Captain of the Flag Corps for two years and loved to be on the field.She just had to wave at me as she peeked out from behind her flag pole as I was taking her picture. That little wave she is giving me was a gesture she never would have done if Doctor Vinson could have seen her. Julie's four years as a member of the Auburn Band, is something she will never forget. As she would say to me, "We do not need a fancy name for our band like some other university we know of, we are The Auburn University Marching Band---enough said."

"During the ’90-’93 seasons, you could find these maniacs in the front row of the student section, right behind the play clock. Adorned with rainbow wigs and cheering their brains out are: (from L to R) John Logan ’95, Dave Eshleman ’94, Katie (Johnson) Dee ’95 (without wig), Brian Busta ’95, Brett Erwin ’93, and Mike Llorca ‘94."

"I saw the photo of the family traveling through Italy [below] and just laughed. My husband and I visited Rome, Florence, and Venice with his parents in March. The four of us must have verified a thousand times that we each had our Auburn shirt or hat or sweatshirt to take on the trip. The moment we stepped off the plane in Florence, we got big 'War Eagle' from another couple in the airport (they live in Atlanta). And it happened again and again. We even met a 'mixed-marriage' couple (he went to Auburn and she went to Alabama) on a train. And just when we thought we had seen the last of any of the Auburn family, the gentleman sitting behind us on the plane ride home gave us our final 'War Eagle' of the trip- he is a professor at AUM! It's no exaggeration- Auburn people are everywhere! War Eagle!"

"For my 40th birthday, my wife's cousin made a large AU cake for me. She makes cakes to sell all the time, and said that this cake was the largest one she had ever made. It was the hit of the party."

"I had just received my Master’s Degree in Materials Engineering when I came home to the sign my daughter Marisa and wife Stevi had made for me! We adopted Marisa from China last year and she always calls me “Baba” (Daddy in Mandarin Chinese). She is almost two years old and is her daddy’s little Tiger."

"Here’s a photo I took of my sweet little daughter, Katherine, at 8 months. She’s now 27 months old and can very clearly say “Go Auburn!” In fact, one day my wife (Susan), daughter and I went to one of our favorite BBQ restaurants in Atlanta, Smokey Bones. They have lots of TVs and we went on a Saturday when football games were on every TV. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, Katherine saw football on the TVs and yelled out, “Go Auburn!” That’ll teach those Dawgs and Yellow Jackets! War Eagle!"

Alum and former Aubie, Damian Shepard, works with the Sonics as Entertainment Manager in Seattle. He went to the top of the Space Needle to shoot a commercial for their 40th Anniversary season which kicks of in just a few short weeks. The mascot of the Sonics is "Squatch".

Thought I would share our Christmas card from 2004. About 200 recipients "voted" it their favorite Christmas card ever! Many of those were TN, BAMA and GA fans too!

War Eagle!!!

David A. Vinson, '83 of Prattville, AL said it was getting a little boring cutting the grass in the 96 degree summer heat so he decided to try something different and show some AU spirit for all the neighbors to see.

As our family traveled across Italy in early summer 2005, our 14 year old son wore his Auburn T-Shirts everywhere we went. As we visited Michaelangelo Park on a hillside above Florence, we heard across the park "War Eagle!" - another alum showing her Auburn Spirit. As we winded through the alleyways of Venice, "War Eagle!" came from across the canal. At a train station in Verona, we sat near a group of young people, all looking very European and speaking fluent Italian. One of the young men kept glancing at my son and gesturing to his friends. As we stood to board our train the young man called out to us "War Eagle!" We replied "War Eagle!" and smiled and waved. He laughed and explained, "I'm an Auburn graduate. I was telling my friends about our custom of calling out War Eagle to one another and that if I said that to you, you would certainly say it back. I've tried to explain what it's like in Auburn...but, I think I will have to take them there. It's just something you can't understand unless you experience it." We agree.
