"AFTER A FEW DAYS TO REMEMBER...."
|
CONTEXT ADDED BY ADMIN:
END OF CONTEXT
AFTER A FEW DAYS TO REMEMBER AUBIGJOE I JUST WANTED TO POST A FEW COMMENTS. I WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES TO HAVE HAD THE BLESSED OPPORTUNITY TO BE A YOUNG ENGINEER AND WORK FOR AUBIGJOE AND AUBIECE. I WAS IN COLLEGE AND BEGAN WORKING AT THE ENGINEERING FIRM THAT AUBIGJOE STARTED. HE WAS IN EARLY RETIREMENT STAGES AT THAT TIME BUT STILL CAME IN TO THE OFFICE FREQUENTLY. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE FIELD AND ALSO TO HAVE HIM REVIEW MY ENGINEERING AND SURVEY WORK. ALTHOUGH I KNOW AUBIGJOE RUBBED SEVERAL ENGINEERING COLLEAGUES THE WRONG WAY OVER THE YEARS (MANY FUNNY STORIES TOLD TO ME OVER THE YEARS), EVERYONE I HAVE EVER MET HAD TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR HIS ENGINEERING DESIGN. IT WAS HIS GRACIOUSNESS TO ME AND MY WIFE THAT ALLOWED ME TO TAKE HER TO HER VERY FIRST AUBURN GAME AND SEVERAL MORE AFTER THAT. AUBIGJOE ALSO HELPED ME AND MY WIFE WHEN WE WERE MOVING INTO OUR FIRST HOME. AS WE WERE MOVING INTO A HOME, AUBIGJOE AND HIS WIFE WERE SELLING THEIR HOME AND DOWNSIZING TO A CONDO. HE OFFERED ME MANY HOME ITEMS, TOOLS, LADDERS, AND EVEN A FREEZER TO HELP US OUT FINANCIALLY. MANY OF THESE ITEMS I USE TO THIS DAY. I HAVE NEVER MET A MAN THAT WAS MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT AUBURN FOOTBALL. HE TRULY WAS THE SPIRIT OF AUBURN. IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM THAT I KNOW OF THIS MESSAGE BOARD. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT POST VERY OFTEN I DO VISIT ON A DAILY BASIS.
AFTER WORKING WITH AUBIECE FOR 9 YEARS I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO START MY OWN ENGINEERING FIRM A LITTLE OVER 4 YEARS AGO. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT WORK WITH AUBIECE ANYMORE WE ARE STILL CLOSE AND I GIVE FULL CREDIT TO HE AND AUBIGJOE FOR MAKING ME THE ENGINEER THAT I AM TODAY.
I ATTENDED THE FLORIDA - AUBURN GAME ON SATURDAY WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD SON. THIS WAS THE FIRST GAME THAT I HAVE ATTENDED SINCE THE GEORGIA GAME IN 2008. AUBIGJOE WAS DEFINITELY ON MY MIND THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND I SAID A FEW EXTRA WAR EAGLES FOR HIM. HE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I THOUGHT OF AFTER A BIG WIN. I AM THANKFUL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SEE AUBURN WIN ANOTHER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND MOST OF ALL EMBARRASS ALABAMA THE WAY THEY DID BEFORE HIS TIME WAS UP HERE ON EARTH.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF THE MILLER FAMILY AS THEY MEAN ALOT TO ME AND MY FAMILY. THANK YOU AUBIGJOE FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY OVER THE YEARS. THANKS FOR YOUR PASSION OF AUBURN FOOTBALL. WAR EAGLE JOE MILLER!!
