Well, it'd be good idea if he hadn't died in May, 2004. Thanks anyway.


ILA Remembers Lindsey Hopkins

Lindsey Hopkins III, University alumnus, friend and mentor died on May 8th from a battle with lung disease. Hopkins and his wife, Wanda Hopkins, were generous givers of time and money for the Institute. Lindsey Hopkins graduated with a business degree in 1961. He enjoyed a student career that included being captain of the UGA tennis team in 1959, two-time state collegiate singles champion and two-time collegiate doubles champion. His father built the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Courts at UGA’s tennis complex in Lindsey’s honor in 1980. After college, Hopkins went on to work for Trust Company of Georgia and owned his own Buick dealership in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a financial consultant for Linkins Investments. Hopkins was also handpicked by founder Alana Shepherd to be president of the Shepherd Center, which cares for people with catastrophic injuries and illnesses.

As a former board president for the Terry College and a co-chair of the college's Terry Third Thursday executive speaker series, he leaves a legacy of excellence for all future business leaders to follow. The Institute for Leadership Advancement mourns the loss of a true servant leader and sends condolences to his family.

It will be difficult to catch him now but perhaps his widow or an offspring. I have been to the Shepherds Center a number of times. They may give you a lead.

Thanks Jim, I hadn't thought of that, Doh!
I'll pursue that avenue and see what comes of it.
