There are a lot of people named Gates. There is "Pop" Gates, of the Harlem Globetrotters. Daryl Gates, Los Angeles police chief at the time of the Rodney King incident.
But the most famous "Gates' of them all are Bill and Melinda Gates.
Bill Gates (Harvard University, but dropped out) is an icon, not just in the U.S. but around the world. Melinda was a newly minted MBA (Duke University) when she joined Microsoft, and her product that I liked best was the "Microsoft Bob" thing.
How did these two get together? Someday, I'd like to write that up.
The title of this romance is already chosen, and I'm copyrighting it as I post this now.
The Great "Gates, B."
Look, I just like the way it sounds.
(You can tell I am stuck at home today. Lauren the Mrs. Alien Cat had a nasty fall last night, breaking a wrist, and I'm taking care of her.)
God's Blessings.
