With the beginning of College Football Season, a lot of discussion about former players and famous people was happening on the SEC Football network.  There was one famous business person discussed that went to Auburn and I knew this person was an alum but didn't know when he/she was there. So, on a whim, I grabbed my 1981 Auburn yearbook and after searching, found out that person was there when I was!

The question is, who is this very famous business person in the bottom row?

No,  it is not Bo Jackson!

That's Tim Cook from Apple the man 5th from left. Hard to believe I could have bumped into him on campus!

He looked a little light in the loafers even then!

But seriously, you got a college yearbook?  How many graduates and students were there?  I knew a handful of people in my university, mostly those from my high school or in my majors, and that's it.  Just way too many students (20K+ undergrad, as I recall) at my state university to even consider putting out a yearbook, i figured, so I didn't even enquire if there was one.  And I didn't go to the humongus graduation ceremony, either!

545 pages, not as many for student photos as you might expect. Mostly about "Auburn Life".

After my tour of duty in the Army, I spent 2 years at one college then came to Auburn. Didn't know but a handful of folks there.  I didn't even get my picture taken for it.
