Boxer Love Story: Howard Stevens '42 and Delores (Geist) Stevens '45

Howard shares how he met his wife, Delores, at Pacific.

They started dating and had been together for two months, but he hadn’t tried to kiss her yet. While they were on a date, she gave him a little white box and inside was a little white heart with the words, “Why wait?” inscribed in red. He grabbed her right there and planted one on her. They were married in 1943 in San Diego, Calif.

Delores passed away in 2005. Howard passed away in 2012.
