Peggy in 2009 "Doing my life story was a hard thing to do. I did it for my girls, my grandkids, my great-grandkids, and maybe even more generations. I hope all will enjoy reading about my life. I hope they can understand it. I did a lot of things wrong; I did some things right. I think everybody in their hearts wants to do the right things, but we all make stupid mistakes. I've certainly made mine. But I've tried to make up for it."

"As I got older, hopefully I got wiser and did things differently. I certainly look at the world differently today. I love my girls and grandkids and great-grandkids. I'm proud of both my girls and their husbands. I've had
a good life."
