Not sure what to say?





So sorry to hear that Peggy is gone. We enjoyed our friendship with Mickey and Peggy in the late 60's when she and I worked at the LSU Library and our occasional visits over the years. Laughter and stories were always part of our visits.
Our prayers are with you and her family.

Peggy was always so friendly and helpful in the Education Resouce Library. She let me teach seminars there in the summer because it was easier for students to work on projects together.
I especially enjoyed the long conversations she and I would have at her counter on a million different topics.
