Description
Book SynopsisPresents the story of growth of a relatively small school to an internationally known and respected university. This title offers the history of Auburn University's President's Home from its construction as a WPA project on 'Ag Hill' in 1938 to the author's tenure as the University's first lady from early 2004 until the summer of 2007.
Trade ReviewNell Richardson takes us on a wonderful journey with those who lived in and took great care of a significant piece of Auburn history - not just the physical structure of the president's home, but of the experiences and emotions that seep through the cracks today. Richardson's generous spirit in sharing the experiences and life-changing events of API's and Auburn's first families makes this an excellent contribution. The term 'Auburn family' is not used lightly, and the relationships expounded upon in this book provide a peek into how all first families were actually part of a much larger lineage. Hats off Nell Richardson! - Debbie Shaw '84, Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Executive Director Auburn Alumni Association
