George Ann and Morris Lowe

All students were matched with two halves of a heart; for Morris, his half read Procter and printed on the half for George Anne was the word Gamble. The matched heart printed with Proctor and Gamble, began a courtship and marriage that led to a wonderful life. A life that included successful careers for both, four children, lots of travel, and a long association with the beautiful campus they both love.
