Is that helpful info? But I'm not bitter. Promise. Really. Outstanding. Did by chance you ever meet Jorge Portela? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBURNJAC 53 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 My Great Grandfather got a scholarship to Auburn when scholarships were rare! He didn’t have a way to get down there (from Athens) so he hitchhiked and eventually rolled into town on a turnip truck! He broke his leg in practice a day or so before the first game and they rescinded his scholarship! Lol.... He had to hitchhike back to Athens with a broken leg because he couldn’t afford to attend Auburn without that scholarship! ? He ended up having 15 children, became a State Senator and fantastic preacher. He passed away in 77’ I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
