Julian Davidson is the founder and head of Davidson Technologies in Huntsville, which he started in 1996, after a distinguished career with the federal government that included an appointment as the first director of the Advanced Ballistic Missile Defense Agency. A 1950 Auburn graduate with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Davidson has also held leading roles with Burroughs Corporation and Booz Allen Hamilton. Davidson and his wife of 25 years, Dorothy, are involved in numerous civic organizations, including the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Children’s Advocacy Center and the Huntsville city symphony and art museum.

Cullman native Earl Foust, a 1971 Auburn graduate in mechanical engineering, is known for his dedication to innovation. As president of Valmont Newark, America’s largest provider of spun concrete, tubular steel and hybrid poles used in electrical transmission, distribution and substation systems, Foust has led the company to become a key alliance supplier to the majority of utilities in the U.S., including Southern Company and the Tennessee Valley Authority. An avid supporter of engineering education and advancement, he has served in various roles for the Birmingham Engineering Council, the Alabama Society of Professional Engineers and the National Society of Professional Engineers. Foust and his wife, Nan, live in Vestavia Hills. Foust was nominated to the hall of fame by UAB, where he holds a graduate degree.

Raymond Loyd is the founding chairman of Derby Fabricating, a leading die-cutter of nonmetallic materials for automotive and consumer appliance clients. He also spent 15 years with General Electric, where he led the development of the Carry Cool, the first room air conditioner to sell profitably for under $100. A 1961 graduate in mechanical engineering, Loyd is also a partner in Purcell Staffing, a global temporary staffing firm; Flair Molded Plastics, an injection molder for the automotive and appliance industries; and Global Link Logistics, which offers freight logistics and warehouse services. Long-time supporters of Auburn, Loyd and his wife Eleanor currently reside in Louisville, Ky. Brasfield & Gorrie was inducted in the corporate category. With 21 specialized divisions and more than 3,000 employees, the company is one of the largest privately held contracting firms in the nation with almost $2 billion in new construction set for this year. Miller Gorrie, right, purchased the company in 1964, seven years after graduating from Auburn. The firm now has offices in Birmingham, Atlanta, Orlando, Raleigh, Nashville and Jacksonville. Many Auburn engineers have chosen Brasfield and Gorrie to be their career home, including the company’s chief operating officer, Jeff Stone, a 1979 civil engineering graduate and former chair of the Auburn Alumni Engineering Council. G.W. Jones & Sons Consulting Engineers was also cited in the corporate category. This Huntsville-based firm is headed by Mark Yokley, a 1985 graduate in civil engineering, who serves as president, and Ray Jones, a 1957 graduate in agricultural science, who is chairman of the board. Founded in 1886, the company has been a major force in Madison County and north Alabama and provides engineering services on a wide variety of projects.

Keystone Society Engineering Eagles Society Annual Gift Scholarships Endowments Planned Gifts Corporations and Foundations
“It is because of what I learned at Auburn that I have been able to succeed financially, and when I retire I will devote a lot of my time to help the institution. I am giving back to Auburn so that others can learn as I have and are able to take advantage of the many important opportunities it offers.” The college’s Keystone Society consists of alumni and friends who recognize the importance of private support in our ongoing success. These members have risen to the challenge of moving the college boldly into the future by making the highest commitment to annual giving — $50,000 or more — to the college’s unrestricted fund over a five-year period. These gifts enable Auburn Engineering to take advantage of emerging educational opportunities.
Minga C. (Push) Lagrone Jr. ’51 Industrial Management Owner, Jellico Realty Co.
New Keystone members
“While attending API, I was never asked to give anything back. However, when I met [former dean and president] William Walker, he did a great job of convincing me that each of us should support Auburn. Then Dean Benefield took up the challenge of supporting the College of Engineering in a way no one ever dreamed of. Auburn University has enormous support of its alumni. If each of us will continue to support the college, we will see the emergence of a school without bounds.”
“My family is an Auburn family. My father Doug is a 1953 graduate in mechanical engineering and he instilled in me an appreciation of the profession of engineering and what it can do for the development of our state and region. As a 1973 graduate, also in mechanical engineering, I share this same belief . . . as well as the desire to give back to Auburn to help fully develop the potential of this great institution and its engineering program. Building for tomorrow is why I chose to join the Keystone Engineering Society.” Charles D. McCrary ’73 Mechanical Engineering President and CEO, Alabama Power Co.
William J. (Bill) Cutts ’55 Industrial Management President and CEO, American Tank and Vessel
“Receiving a scholarship coupled with the co-op program was truly a dream come true; being able to supplement my major with chemical engineering courses added versatility to my education. As a senior officer in public corporations — and after founding my own private business — I have found that the engineering skills I acquired at Auburn always put me at the top. A number of years ago we were pleased to start giving Auburn scholarships as a means of paying back this debt. As we celebrate our golden wedding anniversary this year the Keystone was an appropriate gift for us to give to Auburn Engineering. We hope that it expresses to Dean Benefield our confidence in his leadership. And, as our Auburn experience continues, I have to say that the best is yet to come.”
“I joined the Keystone Society because my engineering degree has been instrumental in my having a successful and fulfilling career. I love Auburn and want to see it continue to be the fine university it has always been. My Auburn experience got me started on the right track and my engineering degree opened many doors. I want my contributions to be used in whatever manner the College of Engineering determines they are most needed at any given time. I believe membership in the Keystone Society shows to current and future engineering students the value alumni place on their Auburn Engineering educations and illustrates their lifelong commitment to Auburn. I hope it encourages future alumni to give back to Auburn Engineering when they are in a position to do so.” Olivia Kelley Owen ’77 Civil Engineering Upstream Global IS Manager, ExxonMobil Corp.

Gift Scholarships
Endowments
Corporations and Foundations
Annual gift scholarship funds are given each year and are not maintained by principle or earnings, therefore, the number of scholarships that the college can award annually varies depending on donor contributions. The annual scholarships provided by these gifts help to ensure education opportunities for students within the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.
Endowments are gifts that provide Auburn Engineering with perpetual income. The Auburn University Foundation, in accordance with AUF policy, invests the principle of the endowed fund. Only the allocated income from the investment of gifts is used to fund programs and initiatives designated by the donor, thus providing an ever-increasing stream of funding. Endowments are essential for the long-term security and growth of the college.
In support of the pursuit of excellence that has become synonymous with Auburn Engineering, the following contributed $25,000 or more to the college in 2006.

Paving the way Be on the lookout this summer for an opportunity to support the new Shelby Center through the purchase of pavers and bricks that can be engraved with personalized wording. It’s a unique way to honor a friend, graduate, professor, colleague . . . or even yourself. The bricks and pavers will be located in the vicinity of the Carroll Commons in the complex’s central courtyard. Bricks will be offered at various levels of support for a limited time. Watch your mail and our web site www.eng. auburn.edu for more information in the coming months.
