Annual Alumni Tailgates Info for the AU/TENNESSEE Game -- September 27
Simply mouthwatering! Come by the HSOP tailgate tent for a taste of Memphis dry ribs, BBQ chicken, baked beans, potato salad and two -- count 'em -- TWO desserts: coconut pie and chocolate iced cake. That's about as Southern as it gets, folks. You cannot possibly go to the game hungry after such a fabulous spread provided by Wilton Catering. Many thanks to Walgreens for sponsored this event. Non-alcoholic drinks will also be provided. The tailgate will begin at 11 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. The tent is in the usual place, at the west end of the Pharmacy Building. Two other tailgates are coming up soon: AU vs. Arkansas (sponsored by CVS) and AU vs. Georgia (sponsored by Wal-Mart).

Some Catch-up From a Previous E-News
Auburn Alums Honored at 2008 APA Convention
We recently reported on David Darby, '82, winning the Lester White Good Government Award at the Alabama Pharmacy Association's annual convention and trade show. We didn't have photos of two other winners at that same event. Phillip Rigsby, '00, left, won the Distinguished Service Award and Neal Presley, '03, right, won the Distinguished Young Pharmacist Award. Actually Neal could not attend the event because of a new baby in his family. We had to get these photos for you after the meeting. Therefore Phillip is being congratulated by Jimmy Harris and Neal is being congratulated by David Darby. Thanks for these photos goes to Jimmy Harris and Larry Presley,'65, who described himself as "proud father."
