Peggy Walton Packard

Peggy was my teacher and friend for many years as she taught in town and from her home. It was the most influential of my then life, and always reflects in my artwork, pastels in particular and the few sculptures she helped me complete. She made a difference in my life forever. I am sorry I did not find this earlier, but for any who knew her, I know we all learned true art skills, with strong and passionate support from Peggy and many hours of wonderful experiences.

Wendy,
Your mother has been an important to our family almost since she and my own mother, Stella Jenkins (nee Cuming)started school at SMS with her in or about about 1922.

When my father died in 1956, Mom commissioned Peggy to do a portrait so I would always remember him as he was. It still hangs in my home, with pride.

Mom was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. With any luck we can bring her out to the Mac in November.

Best regards...

Peggy taught me when I was 16. I remember Wendy and Christopher and her beautiful gardens and lovely statues. She was a wonderful inspiration to me and she will be missed but never forgotten.
