I remember Ms. Peggy when we all lived in Augusta. Brent was 2 years ahead of me in school 'Willy Rob' and my mother Caroline was friends of the Ouzts. Mr. Frank would step out the back door and whistle and everbody knew it was time to come to the house. Ms. Peggy was always nice to me, and even though it has been many years, I will always remember her kindness to a little boy whose family had gone through a very unpleasant divorce.
