This tale of romance with Birmingham roots, posted online at the end of Valentine's Day week, is shared with the writer's permission. Donna Jacobites and Gordon Hoyem, who knew each other from the Birmingham-Covington School and Seaholm High's Class of 1975, married in 2003. At a 736-member Birmingham memories group on Facebook, she was the first to respond early Sunday to the question "Who married their high school sweetheart?"
