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

Thanks for sharing Ruffian. I once had a chat with Bob Baffert at Keeneland Sales ohhhhh a least 12 yrs ago or so. No where near as involved as the time you must have spent with Peggy. Very cool. She lived a long life.
