Peggi's Story
I don't kow what happened to the story that I wrote before...it just disappeared....After QCC I went to work at Union Carbide in NYC. I met my husband Gar in '65 and we married in '66. Our son was born in '67 while we were living in Flushing. Gar went to work at Union Carbide and we were transferred to Rochester, NY. Our daughter was born there. We then moved again and again...14 times in all. We are now in KY, retired and loving life. We have 4 grandchildren living in NY and NC. Along the way I was a stay at home mom, volunteering, working temp jobs AND MOVING!! I became very good at that! After the kids left the nest I found myself working for a small investment company in MA. What a stepping stone to the rest of my life.

ife. My love of cooking has directed my life in retirement. I am VERY involed in the local Ronald McDonald house. A group of my friends and I cook there every Wednesday evening. The house started out with 20 rooms and is now up to 38!! Quite a large group of mouths to feed. We have been doing it for over 10 years. This year I was asked to join the board of directors....what an honor. Life for the Van Doren's is very full and rewarding. We have family and friends all over and we make an effort to see them as often as we can. The local joke where ever we have lived is that we run a 'bed and breakfast and lunch and dinner and tours'!!!!!! WE love it.
For now life is good.....we have our health, a wonderful family and great friends. That of course could change in a nano-second!
