Sweet Julianna in her Auburn Tutu. She was quite the good sport on this day. She stopped scowling when the scary Marietta Daily Journal photographer that crashed our session went away and was so happy when Mommy started singing. At least she actually made the paper although we can’t figure out which day!
We are gearing up at my house to meet all of our Auburn friends at the Cobb Galleria tonight for the Annual Atlanta Auburn Club Tiger Trek. I’m going to let Coach Chizik sign something..maybe my kids foreheads and I hope to get a picture of me and the BCS trophy. I’m sure my kids won’t stand still for that.
If any of my Auburn friends don’t have a ticket, I think there are some still available at the door. See you at Tiger Walk!
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work. I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully. I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men. I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities. I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by “doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God.” And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
-George Petrie (1945)
