Hutcheson I retired from the Muscogee County School District after 34 years and worked for Troy University-Ft. Benning as Program Coordinator. More recently, I have slipped into 'semi-retirement'. I have ended my full-time employment with Troy University and now teach one class per week. Most of my day has been filled with Tennis (M-W-F), visits to the gym (T-TH). I get in several hours frequently flyrod fishing if the weather permits. I live 124 steps from my front door to the edge of the first of three ponds! I am averaging 6-10 fish per visit, so there is a strong pull to return the next day. I am active with my civic group (Rotary) and serve as the club webmaster. |
My wife, Carol, has retired from serving as a principal of a middle school in Columbus. She maintains her Board seat with the Red Cross and an Advisory Committee with the School of Education at Auburn. Most of her time is spent reading. Our son, Matt, is a department chairman in a mental health health hospital in Birmingham. |

| Charles Hunt '66 After "Anchor Clanker" training at AU, I stayed in the U. S. Navy for the shortest time possible! Today I am semi-retired following a career both in the process industry and selling equipment and services to it. My wife Judith became a cancer survivor two years ago. We have two sons. Matthew is in his 3rd year as a neuro-surgery resident at the University of Oregon in Portland. He's getting married to a wonderful woman the week after the FIJI reunion. Joel is a training and development executive with Bank of America in Chicago. | For kicks I enjoy going to Chicago Cubs ball games with my sons, exploring ancient Anasazi ruins in northern New Mexico and Colorado with my wife as well as playing some really terrible golf. I am looking forward to renewing some former relationships with some "old-time" brothers at the reunion. I wonder if Jim "Moon" Sims ever returned from his forced trip to Columbus and if Sid Bufkin still has his duck-call! |

with an MS EE in '68, Ernie married Janet Sibley (Auburn Pi Beta Phi) and
joined Texas Instruments in Dallas. He has worked as a system engineer on
guided missiles, most notably Harpoon, Javelin and Paveway, the laser-guided
bombs seen on the TV news. In 1997-98, Raytheon bought the missile businesses
from TI, Hughes and General Dynamics and consolidated the programs and about
10,000 employees in Tucson. Janet had been a wonderful homemaker in Dallas,
but she agreed to move to the Tucson desert so Ernie could continue his
career with Raytheon. Eric is an Assistant VP at Guaranty Bank; Kelly (26),
a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, works as Activity Director for Kingwood
Village, a Methodist retirement community, in Houston. Michael (22), a Senior
at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, works as the Web/Server Administrator

Ernie learned photography at Auburn working for the Glomerata, the Plainsman and the FIJI chapter. "The photography assignments allowed me to attend activities and meet many people on the campus. I remember, Jim Gideon tutored me in basic darkroom processing techniques at the Glomearta office. Oh, the wonderful smell of Dektol and Fixer in the morning! Photography has been a great creative outlet over the years. Janet and I operated a part-time photography business for about 20 years in Dallas, doing product brochures, portraits, parties and kids sports/teams." "FIJI's make long-time relationships. My sister, Lillian (Auburn Kappa Alpha Theta), is still happily married to Roy Norris after 36 years. Janet and I have enjoyed 34 years of marriage. |

Shelton '66 "After returning from Vietnam, I spent most of my career in textiles and mostly within a 100 mile radius of Greenville, S. C. where my wife Sharon (a second grade teacher) and I have lived since 1988. She has two Masters Degrees (Furman University) and is National Board certified while I continued in the 'school of hard knocks' where I have yet to graduate. I retired three years ago as President and CEO of a German textile firm which afforded me much European travel and a great education. Six months ago I was recruited to help an owner of a construction tool sales and rental company turn the company around and hopefully to grow. We buy used equipment such as “BLT on White” (bending, lifting, threading and welding), recondition it at our plant here and then sell or rent to large construction projects such as electric power plants and oil refineries. It has been a struggle, but with God’s divine intervention, we will get the needed sales. |
We are very active in our church and enjoy several weekly Bible study classes. God has blessed us richly and we have prospered. My daughter Lisa lives in Montgomery where she works with PYA-Monarch (after struggling through Clemson). She is married, but no grandchildren yet. I love golf and travel so call and come up. We have plenty of room and a good course." |
