Red and White our colors true,
We to thee do sing.
Year by year the ages through, whatever fate may bring.
We may falter, but we'll try to never go astray.
With Saks High School and all she stands for,
As our guide and stay.

The Fields Family






Well where do I begin. Tanya and I have been married 19 years now. Our eldest son, Spencer, is graduating from high school in 2 months. He will be attending Auburn University next fall on an academic scholarship. (He got it together a lot quicker than I did and I couldn't be prouder). As many of you might remember from our last reunion, we had triplets (2 girls and a boy) that were born in 1998. They are 9 and in 3rd grade (Riley, Makenzie and Hunter). Meanwhile, Tanya has gone back to school at Kennesaw State University an will graduate this spring with a degree in Ealry Childhood Education. She will be teaching next fall.



I have been with IBM since graduating from Auburn in 1995 (13 years now). I am a project manager and still live just outside of Atlanta (Kennesaw, GA). I play golf as much as I can and love tennis. I travel to all Auburn home games every season and have done so for the last 9 years. It has been a tradition for me and Spencer but one that will change next year with him going off to school. That is ok though, my younger son, Hunter, is at the perfect age to start going to every game with me. I take the girls to a few games each year but never to the big ones (Alabama, LSU, Florida, etc).



That is all for now, but I look forward to getting together this fall. I will just have to check the Auburn schedule to make sure that this reunion date does not conflict with a major game.

Ok, Rex, does your son know about the car you and Clayton took the wheels off and put on cinderblocks our junior year? You really need to let some of our classmates spend a few minutes with him to catch him up on the real you...ha ha ha!!!!
