Penny Hopkins Ferguson
October 2, 2025
John was born on 5 September 1952...he had the same birthday as 'The Twins', Jenny & Penny Hopkins. From First Grade with Miss Ossie through Senior year at CHS, we were always in the same grade and classes. As this was at the beginning of the school year and always close to Labor Day, several of the teachers would buy ice cream for the whole class...an excellent idea 'we' all believed. John also had 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye, talk about special.
