Memories of Mickey – Remembering Mickey Fisher Part 3
July 4, 2012
Part 3 of a 5 Part Series
Clarksville, TN – Mickey Fisher was adjusting to college life, and playing basketball with “Fly” Williams. Austin Peay State University and the Clarksville community was attracting national attention. During all of this change and excitement, someone caught his eye.
Mary Hopson had graduated from Clarksville High School two years ahead of Mickey. They knew who each other was in high school, but because of their age difference, they never dated. Mary was one of three children from a regular,hard working, go to church on Sunday family. Very close to her father, with a couple of ” over-protective” brothers and a mother who could cook like nobody’s business, Mary Hopson was raised just like Mickey Fisher. Their families never had a lot of money, never had all the latest “things,” they just made the best out of what they had, and they were happy about it.
