​An Excerpt from The Oak Ridger
“Jackie Pope’s accomplishments being memorialized”
​Beverly Majors Special to The Oak Ridger

...
​Herbert Jackson Pope died March 22, 2021, and today, his accomplishments are being memorialized.

A memorial column with an inscription is in the works. Part of the plaque’s inscription states:  “This memorial is dedicated to Jackie and the thousands of Wildcats who have and who will descend these 72 steps into the blazing lights of Blankenship Field and everlasting glory!”

The proposed memorial brick column will be placed at the top of the 72 steps.
Jackie was instrumental in keeping the 72 steps as they are, even once all renovations are complete. The steps are part of the foundation of Blankenship Field, and each Wildcat, past, present and future, are proud to walk down them. It’s a tradition that must be maintained, according to Revitalization Foundation members.

“The Pope family is honored and truly appreciative by the community leaders, the ORHS administration, the Board of Education and the Wildcat boosters to create an enduring monument at Blankenship Field to memorialize my father, and to honor his teammates and the tremendous Wildcat spirit they exemplified,” said Robbie Pope, his son. “We are hopeful that it will long serve as inspiration to future Wildcats in their pursuit of excellence as athletes, students and citizens, as well as a perpetual reminder to all Oak Ridgers of the storied history that this very special community shares."
​
The cost of the project is estimated at $5,000. Donations to the memorial project should be made to the Blankenship Field Revitalization Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, identifying the donation is for the Jackie Pope Memorial. Memorial donations should be made at TnBank of Oak Ridge, 401 S. Illinois Ave.
