Father’s Day is winding to a close, but the relationship between a father and a child is deeply intertwined in the foundations of the Auburn family year round.
For many of us, the spirit is a legacy. It’s a family tradition. Something handed down from generation to generation and fostered the same way a young child learns to read and write and pray. In my own life, I don’t think I have a memory in which being a member of the Auburn family was a quality absent in my life. My parents, but mainly my dad, are the reason that I’ll never be able to remember a time when I didn’t know the tune of the fight song or subconsciously chose orange and blue over red of any shade.
