The summer of 1955, Peggy and I and 2 other U. of M. friends took the train to Yellowstone Park where we were chambermaids at Old Faithful Inn. We hitch hiked all over the West that summer, even making it as far as Idaho and Denver. Peggy was a delight. We had many adventures. We did a lot of singing that summer and no one loved singing more than Peggy (well, maybe her singing was a little off key) I look back fondly at that time when we were all free spirits. We lost touch but I did go to her wedding to Norman. I am glad to read that she had a large and loving family. I know you will miss her. My condolences.
