AFTER JOE'S PASSING I WORKED WITH PEGGY AND WE FORMED THE JOE WOOD MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT IN CORVALLIS IN SUPPORT OF SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS AT SIGMA NU FRATERNITY. NOW WITH PEGGY'S PASSING, THE TOURNAMENT BEARS BOTH THEIR NAMES: THE JOE AND PEGGY WOOD MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT....ALWASYS IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS...STEVE AND GINGERG LANGENBERG

Peggy and I met in 2nd grade and I loved my sleepovers at her house! She would play the "player piano", show me her storybook doll collection, climb trees, and after Sunday Mass her Dad would drive to Hollywood Fred Meyer to buy a Sunday paper and he would give us each a nickel to buy a coke! Peggy and I went on our very first double date with two of our fellow classmates to a western movie downtown. Lots of wonderful memories shared with Peggy!

During my 22 plus years as Catholic Charities Executive Director, Peggy was a devoted and energetic member of the Friends of Catholic Charities in raising funds and awareness of its services to our disadvantaged brothers and sisters. She had a good heart and generous spirit. May God rest her soul and console her her family and friends.
