PIONEER – VOLLEYBALL

Fanny Hopeau showed the way for other female volleyball players in the state of Hawai’i. During her long career, Hopeau was named All-American seven times and won a silver medal at the 1966 World Games in Japan. She was a member of the USA’s Championship Team in 1967.

With her dominance on the world scene and her selection on the 1968 U.S. Olympic Volleyball Team headed for Mexico City, a dream came true for the Papakolea girl from Roosevelt High School.
