Peggy's Story
Hi Classmates!
The best part of my life story starts in 1985 when I gave birth to my daughter. I raised her on my own, having wisely decided against marriage to her dad. I've been single all these many decades - happily so.
I survived a 32 year career delivering mail with the U.S. Postal Service.

It's our 50th reunion next year! Woot!
