Solemate Stories
Quinton and Courtney Roberts
My husband, Quinton, and I met in August 2015 at fall Resident Advisor training. I was a returning RA at Springer College, where I lived my whole 5 years at MSU, while he was a brand new RA for Franklin College. Since Springer-Franklin colleges are connected in lots of ways, naturally we started training off with dual-staff dinner at Winslow.
Lennis and Sharrie Thompson
We met at the old Murray State baseball field during in the Spring and started dating during summer classes. We married in 1980 and I (Sharrie) finished my last year married. Most all attendants at our wedding were Murray State friends.
Scott and Hope Foster
Murray means a little more to me than the average graduate. It was the FIRST home for this “Louisville” girl (I was born in Murray in 1970 when my mom & dad lived in married housing—a.k.a. College Courts). It was where I met my “sole mate” in 1989 (the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity introduced me to little sisterhood in 1988 AND ignited a friendship-turned-relationship in ’89). And it became my hometown in 1993 when I accepted a teaching position at a local high school. Scott and I even got married here in Murray, Kentucky in 1995. Truth be told, I never really wanted to leave Murray after my first semester at MSU, so deciding where to get married was easy…I chose to stay “home.”
Jeremy and Julie Boyd
Jeremy “Boocha” and I met at Murray State in 1996 when we both lived in Cambridge. I lived across the street and my Tri Sigma sorority sisters, who also were his high school friends, lived next door him. We met through our mutual friends and we instantly became inseparable. Our friendship quickly evolved and we officially started dating in 1997.
