Owen H. Searcy, Class of '79



About-Baker: I attended Baker my freshman and sophomore years. I played football and attempted to play basketball, but could never make the cut (a 5� 8" white man, can�t jump). My dad retired from the army in the Summer of my sophomore year and we moved to Auburn, AL. The only thing I remember about school was being in Mrs. Gosha's German class and never being able to figure out why. The worst memory was sneaking off campus, going to Taco Bell, I think it was, and then getting caught by that assistant principal, who's name I can't recall but can still see his face, sneaking out of the storm sewer down near the football practice field. I also remember the good times I had with my friend Douglas Byrd '79.

After-Baker: After graduating from Auburn High School in 1979, I walked on at Auburn University, played football for one year, and then decided to work for 14 years before I returned to Auburn and graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. I left Auburn and went to work in Jacksonville, FL for CSX Railroad for a number of years, and have recently (Mar 2001) returned to Auburn where I am a senior design engineer for a consulting firm. I have been married for 10 years and have 3 sons and 1 daughter. I enjoy doing volunteer work for Operation Lifesaver, an organization dedicated to educating the public on safety at railroad crossings. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and children, because as we all know by now, time does have a way of getting away from us.
