The 'Memories of Auburn' was the brainchild of Charles "Chuck" E. Wood who was born in Auburn, KY in 1936. In 2001 he commenced his work in developing "Auburn Memories" which he continued until his death in 2006.

Charles through his kind and trusted friend Roger "Dodger" Hollins indicated his wish to continue what he had started for the future prosperity of the inhabitants of Auburn. Living away from Auburn himself, he felt that there was no better way to keep the exiles of Auburn informed than through the Internet.

I promised Charles Wood, at his request, several months before he passed away, that I would spare no effort in keeping this site up and running as long as I was able to do so.

This Website is dedicated to the memory of Charles 'Chuck' E. Wood (1936-2006)

An appeal by the late Charles E 'Chuck' Wood

"This site has been a labor of love and I've enjoyed every moment that I've spent building it.  Probably the biggest pleasure I've received has, becoming re-acquainted with many old friends and acquainted with many new friends with roots in Auburn and Logan County.

At Yahoo-Geocities, the host of this site, 15 megabytes of disk space is offered for free if you allow advertising on the site, and that's how we started.  In less than six months we passed the 15 megabyte mark and it started costing and, by then, I was so caught up in the activity and the positive reactions I was getting on this project, I paid no thought to the minor cost and allowed them to charge my debit card.    Early in 2002 we passed the 25 megabyte mark and the price went up again and it's now costing $11.95 a month.    

Those wanting to contribute to the maintenance of this site should mail a check payable to Auburn Memories"

***********************************************

Those of you who follow Auburn Memories will note that in the fall of 2009 the website closed down for a lack of support. Please don't let this happen again - a combination or many small contributions will make all the difference in keeping it alive. At that time Auburn Memories carried pictures of people and places only. I promised Charles Wood, at his request, several months before he passed away, that I would spare no effort in keeping this site up and running as long as I was able to. Today we have expanded this by combining two websites; www.auburnkyusa.com and www.auburnkymemories.com to bring, not only pictures, but a combination of history and pictures. Furthermore, we have started to include the local cemeteries (including monument pictures) and the Auburn High School yearbooks. This is a continual 'work in progress' that will not only take time, but oodles of megabytes.

We are very grateful to those who have contributed including one of the Auburn High School Classes. Their contribution will help towards defraying some of the costs of maintaining this site.

Thanking you
