Right after Bill Gorge, dec'd, son of Bill & Ruth Gorge, dec'd, and I were married, we were thru the Air Force sent to Turkey. Each year we received a Christmas Card from Peggy. As a young person that left the homeland and put into a strange new world, the cards meant everything to me. I have never met Peggy personally, but she has been with me all these years. She will live on in my heart as a true beautiful, loving and caring person.
