It is frustratingly rewarding and tiringly refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in the White Rock/Chapin area. Back in the early 2000s, my wife (girlfriend at the time) was going to school at USCar, and, to get closer to her (I was living in Auburn at the time), I actually interviewed for a job at a little fossil fuel (coal) electric generating station (McMeekan Station, I think?) next to that big earthen dam. I think it's shut down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akillshot 294 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I had missed this thread earlier (I know how because I generally don't spend a lot of time in the football forum due to the pro-con Gus back and forth). Certainly would have pegged ages of many posters incorrectly so it was interesting to see the various ages. One thing I saw in the latter posts were reminiscing about days at Auburn. Mine were a little different. My wife and I were already married almost 2 years before starting college. I was doing carpenter work and she was a secretary for Department of Social Services. I was preparing to go to work early one morning when it was 6 degrees. Threw a rod in my old VW squareback (2nd time). Still had to get to work and work out in the cold all day. When I came home that night, I told my wife that I thought I should do a career change involving college - engineering. She said that she would work. I had always been an bama fan (I was in North Alabama after all) but when I was considering an education involving engineering, it was an easy choice in the state of Alabama in 1976. She and I went to Auburn for counseling on courses to take at UNA to get pre-engineering stuff out of way at minimal total expense of living. After one semester at UNA, my wife said that she wanted to go to college as well - made sense as she was valedictorian when we graduated from our county high school. My reaction was more of how are we going to pay for school and survive. After 3 semesters for me, we moved to Auburn in the Married Students Housing. Adequate but basic accommodations. Our last summer in Auburn, I worked for the Forest Service and my wife took 23 hours to catch up so that we could graduate at the same time. She got her degree in Accounting. We had some fun in college but it was basically business for us. We both had jobs during school to provide our basics. Fortunately, college tuition and books were not as expensive as today or I'm not sure we would have been able to do it. It was the right choice and we have been blessed. We will celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary in October. War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
