History

The Augsburg Memorial Scholarship was named for Fred and Susan Augsburg by the members of the ASMC Aviation Chapter as a lasting beneficial memorial to their friends. The couple were vibrant, outgoing, fun-loving individuals, and true professionals in their jobs. Tragically, in February 1987, they were killed in a traffic accident in Lexington, Kentucky. A drunk driver crossed the centerline and struck Fred & Susan while they were jogging. Both died from their injuries.

Following additional assignments in ASD, he was promoted to Deputy Comptroller, 2750th Air Base Wing in August 1984. In November 1986, Fred was named Deputy Director of Cost, Air Force Logistics Command.
