2013 Stroup Reunion Celebrity


I have been going to the Stroup Reunion for a few years and always look for this lady. She descends from Jacob I, Philip Sr., Moses,. Each year she travels all the way from Florida to be with us. The first year I went she was one of the first persons to approach me to learn about her family. She was so excited that she had to call her daughter, and then stuck the phone in my hand to speak with her daughter. It was a moment I will never forget. Now each year she is the first person I look for to get a big hug. She currently owns part of Adam’s original tract.

She was the University of Florida’s FIRST Homecoming Queen 60 years ago. She has been invited by the university to return this November to crown the 60th queen at midfield. When she was telling me about this she was very excited. They are going to provide a golf cart to transport her to midfield. Without further ado her name is Carolyn Stroupe Stambauch. Below I have attached some photos.
