RCHS Class of 68.... And our Mom's were HS classmates and we rode the same bus to HS.... Peggy had a memorable smile. She had ridden our bus more years than I and she quickly explained the "rules" and included me so that I felt comfortable. I Know that Peggy is at peace. Sincerely, Laura Feld.
( my Mom was Harriett Gail Powers)
