Being chosen Samford University's Alumna of the Year was the greatest honor I've ever received. Samford has about 10,000 students and is well known as a highly academically rated university. My father and my daughter attended Samford also. She teaches chemistry there now. My son-in-law graduated from Cumberland Law School (part of Samford). Of all of us, I was the least outstanding student. So I can't tell you how surprised I was. And how honored that my alma mater is proud of me and my work.”

Southern Storyteller

“Anne George has never lived anywhere but Alabama. Therefore she is the graduate of the University of Alabama, has two deviled egg plates, and keeps her silver flatware (Rosepoint by Wallace) polished.”
