Boxer Love Story: Walter Riess '40 and Marjorie (Whitcomb) Riess '42
Walter Riess reminisces about meeting his wife, Marjorie Whitcomb Riess, while attending Pacific.
He remembers walking on his way to stoke the furnaces in the residence halls and she told him to wait for her. He chose to wait for her, and she took him to the local make out spot — the railroad tracks! Now, they have umpteen grandchildren!
Walter passed away in 2007, and Marjorie passed away in 2010.
