Caroline Miller Hopkins ’73 and Stephen Hopkins ’73
Steve and I met on the first day of class in 1969. Our dates included 25-cent FTU movies, and serving banquets as Disney host and hostess to Disney investors while the park was under construction. We got paid $15 a banquet, plus a free meal. We lived in the dorms, and Steve was active in Lambda Chi, and I was an SAE little sister. I graduated in June ’73 with a bachelor’s in inhalation therapy, and we were married a week later on June 16. Steve transferred to Georgia Tech and graduated with a bachelor’s in industrial engineering. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last year and attended the Gasparilla Bowl in December. We compromised by attending the UCF tailgate party and we sat in the Georgia Tech section. The friendships we made at FTU date back to 1969, and we make several trips each year from Savannah to reconnect with these life-long friends!
