Graduated from Auburn University in 1976 w/ BS in MK and Teacher's Cert. In Distributive ED
Returned to Ruf Farms 1976-1980
Employed by UPS 1981-2017
My high school dream was to go to NY, become a Male Model and return to Athens to open an exclusive Men's Clothing Store similar to The Iron Horse in the day! DID NOT HAPPEN!!! LOL
However, I did manage to become a Male Spokesmodel for AL and to work for Ralph Lauren Polo at Parisians...and my passion has been collecting Southern Antiques for 40+ years!😎

School Story

Funny quotes:
"Donnie you do not open your mouth to stick your foot in it, you open your mouth to change feet!!!" Charles 'Charlie' Spencer

"Donnie you are always a Day Late and a Dollar $hort!!!" Mr. McClure....(Well, Mr. McClure I have seen times in the farming days that a day late and a dollar short would have been a 'BLESSING!' There were days I was lot 'later' and a lot 'deeper!' LOL🤑
