I thought recently about investing some time in researching our family history when my son was doing a school project on this subject. I decided I would rather be reminded and hear the stories of those who came before me. That is where my interests lie. I hope some of the family that comes after me share this interest and continue the story.
Peggy loved to pull pranks on her friends and then sharing the stories.
Once when there was a snow day at school her friend Paulette (a school nurse) was counting her lucky stars. Another friend called Paulette and asked her why she was not at school. She replied that it being a snow day she figured she was to stay home.' No,' she was told, ' as a memeber of the non teaching staff she was expected to come in and shovel snow'. When she objected saying that she couldn't get her car off the street she was told that their maintenence man could pick her up in his 4X4.
Another friend shared her good news with Peggy that she had been laid off by the Buffalo Public Schools and couldn't wait to get some rest and collect unemployment. Another friend impersonating Bflo. Schools Human Resouces called Susie and told her they had good news. 'You may return to work immediately as a bus driver. She protested.'Don't I need to be trained?' 'No problem' was the answer 'We'll take care of it and you'll be ready to ride that bus in no time.'
There was an embarrassing jingle by the hardware store on local TV and Peggy would tell her kids that she would be featured in their next commercial. She told how she was appproached while shopping there and illustrate the words and dance sparking fear and dread in them.
Neil said he felt like, ' The Captain and Tenille' when out with Peggy because she did all the talking.
Peggy liked this song. She left us too soon. She left 3 great children and her husband to carry on and
I'm sure she is proud of how they not only managed but continue to spread the love and joy she embodied. May she rest in peace.
