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.
