Photo by Lou Parris
A former Clemson student performed with Bob Hope 40 years ago at Littlejohn Coliseum. An archived photo was found with the student and Hope rehearsing backstage. Can you identify the student? We want to know.
Hope reportedly performed “Thanks for the Memories” at the end of his show at Clemson.
Before Hope’s performance that evening, he spotted former Spartanburg Herald-Journal reporter Lou Parris watching a Clemson student learning the dance steps to Hope’s routine and invited Parris for an interview and to follow the entertainer backstage during his show preparation.
The student was scene practicing with Hope before the memorable performance. We are looking for the Clemson student in this photo to identify him.
