Most of you might better remember her, as "Peggy".  We went through San Gabriel Avenue school together.  And, we both played the flute in the school orchestra and practiced together. 

I remember too, the trips to the drug store on Firestone and San Carlos (?) or maybe San Gabriel where we sometimes went for lunch.  Peggy had a "permanent pass" to go home for lunch.  I got to have one sometimes to go with her (I also went home sometimes).

Peggy was a fierce competitor in all sports in Elementary school!  She always beat me in teather ball! As well as the group things like kickball and every other thing!

Once in a while she would go to church with me.  I remember her dad's work was involved with auto racing...and Peggy was so sad when Bill Vukovich was killed.  Peggy's dad knew him well and Peggy also knew him.

I had often wondered what happened to her...had not remembered seeing her much after elementary school.  Wish I had had the opportunity to chat with her later on.
