Harrison Been Lowder

                                                       HARRISON BEENE LOWDER

This entry is dedicated entirely to Harrison Beene Lowder.  For those of you who do not know Harrison, he is the son of Larry and Hannah Lowder, and his mother is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She and Larry have raised a fine young man in Harrison. 

Harrison just graduated from Hendrix College in Conway Arkansas.  He has been accepted at Kings University in London, and will be attending there beginning in September of this year.  He plans to get a Master’s degree in some sort of Psychology ( didn’t listen very well did I ? ...or maybe it is just "old age brain"…) and hopes to apply to medical school after completing this course of work.  I know his mother is a fine doctor, and I am sure he will be too. Hopefully he will come back to the States to attend Medical school so we will get to see him and visit with him, and hear all about London.

I have known Harrison since birth and even though he grew up in Arkansas, and we were in Virginia, we were able to keep up with what was going on with him and watch him grow into the nice young man he is today.  Charlie and I attended his High School graduation four years ago and we still talk about what a fun time we had. 

Harrison is the proud owner of a signed ticket by Ben Harper and he drives a Black Tahoe.  Harrison is currently dating a nice young lady named Anna who also graduated this year and may attend the University of Arkansas (Go Hogs!)  next year and obtain a Masters degree of her own in ? forensic archeology?    

Harrison likes to cook and helped Hannah Beene and I make the Bridesmaid’s luncheon for Hannah Lynn A few years back.  He is also fond of crosswords and quite good at completing them.  He and Caroline have shared this hobby when they have had the chance to work them together.

 

Harrison has a quick wit, a sharp mind and a kind heart.  He has traveled to India to do mission work and enjoyed both the opportunity to help and the opportunity to learn more about another culture.  He loves spicy food and the last night in India was able to eat with a local family and loved the spiciness of their food.  The hot sauce with the rooster on it is his favorite brand of hot sauce now that he is back in the States.  

Harrison is / and was a wonderful host, entertaining Charlie and I until his parents got home, and then hanging out with us during dinner and later in the evening.  He is a joy to be around, very respectful of others, and I consider it an honor to call him my extended family and to lose a bet to him -and I always pay my debts.

Thank you for sharing your time with us Harrison.
