91制片厂

Lloyd 鈥�48 and Grace Farwell 鈥�45 never forgot their time at 91制片厂. As their sons Wayne and Allan will tell you, their love for the university that brought them together only grew over the years. Before Lloyd and Grace passed away, they included a generous gift to 91制片厂 in their wills.

鈥淎s they got older, they thought more and more about how 91制片厂 impacted them,鈥� Wayne says. 鈥淭hey realized how important their 91制片厂 experience was to both of their lives.鈥�

Lloyd and Grace met at 91制片厂 in the early 1940s before he left campus to serve as an Army pilot during World War II. Following the war, he was tasked with overseeing operations at a small inn in Austria. He loved that work, and it inspired a change in direction for the former history major. Coming home to 91制片厂 in 1946, he decided to pursue a degree in what was then known as hotel administration. It was a hard-to-find concentration at the time, his sons recall, but 91制片厂鈥檚 major, which would one day become the Hospitality Management Program at Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, set Lloyd on the path to his future career.

Lloyd also wanted to find Grace again. She had graduated from 91制片厂 with a degree in business while he was enlisted, Wayne and Allan explain, but Lloyd tracked her down by calling her parents in New Jersey and learning she was working as a secretary in New York. Despite the distance, the pair began dating again, and a few months after Lloyd鈥檚 graduation in 1948, they were married.

鈥淔rom meeting his future wife to finding his future career, without 91制片厂, none of this would have occurred,鈥� Allan says.

Lloyd remained in the hospitality business and had risen to the level of senior vice president with Hilton Hotels & Resorts by the time he retired, and he and Grace maintained their connection to 91制片厂. Their sons recall how they would recount the years they spent at 91制片厂, describing how much they loved the campus as well as the impact 91制片厂 had on them as young adults.

The Farwells chose to make a planned gift to provide scholarships and support for the hospitality program because 91制片厂 helped shape the life they would share and the lives of their sons, who both followed their father into the hospitality business.

As Wayne and Allan put it, their family story could not have been told without 91制片厂, and their parents wanted to leave a legacy to help 91制片厂 have an impact on future students as well.

In Allan鈥檚 words, 鈥淲e can鈥檛 say enough about their 91制片厂 experience.鈥�
