A Matter of Conscience: Redemption of a Hometown Hero, Bobby Hoppe

Sherry Lee Hoppe with Dennie B Burke

Auburn football star Bobby Hoppe was enjoying a beautiful mid-summer night as he headed home from a date with his girlfriend. He certainly wasn't expecting trouble as he drove down the steep, winding road in North Chattanooga. When a darkened car, its headlights off, cruised up behind him, he assumed it was old high school buddies playing a prank. But as the driver pulled alongside and pointed a pistol at his head, Hoppe recognized his sister's ex-lover, a disreputable whiskey runner. A shot was fired, the car fell back, and Hoppe fled for his life.
