As the youngest of four, Rowley always had a playful, ambitious edge; which only helped his future highly demanding career.

They married twice, once in 1944 (a civil wedding before he left for the army) and again in 1945 in a Church setting. Together they had three healthy daughters: Anne, Sue (Susan) and Jane. Rowley and Diana were married for 69 years, and shared their passions for the Arctic together. Education He attended Clare College, Cambridge, and received his B.A. from th ...
