Peter Manos came to Delaware after serving in the Pacific Theater during WWII to attend Ohio Wesleyan University and met Georgia Vatsures, his future wife. He graduated from OWU in 1947 and continued his education at Capital Law School. Their granddaughter, Angela Brown also graduated from Capital Law School in 2013. Peter worked his way through law school by selling insurance throughout Delaware County and developed great admiration for the friendly, hardworking people he encountered. In 1951, he graduated from law school, married Georgia, and opened his law office in Delaware, where he practiced for over 50 years. This scholarship pays tribute to the people of Delaware County and Ohio Wesleyan University who shaped the lives of the Manos Family.
