I spent many hours on the telephone with Peggy years ago
Because of including Sunday Silence in my book that I was producing

She was such a gracious, kind hearted Lady
Who would share stories about Charlie
how he would get up at 4 AM in the morning to go to the barn
just because he wanted to be with the horses

I felt honored just to have known her if only on the telephone
