Memories of Alnwick

Pauline Hoover (in honor of Joe Hoover ’88, St. Cloud, Alnwick 1986)

When my husband, Joe Hoover, retired in 1982 at age 63, he enrolled at SCSU as a non-traditional student. He graduated cum laude in 1988. While there he was encouraged by friends of ours, Kent and Karen Frohrip, to apply for the international studies program in Alnwick. He was accepted and we spent the summer of 1986 in the castle dorm. While there we became close friends of Marjorie Deakin

Joe Hoover

One of our highlights that year was Joe being asked to lead the parade for the annual summer festival in the town of Alnwick. I know Joe would have loved to attend some of the upcoming events and meeting some old friends, but we lost Joe to cancer just six weeks ago.
