Peggy Burton

My mom's favorite recent photo

A previous entry alluded to Peggy's persona - elegant, charming, loving, fun and caring. Of course, that just begins to describe her magical qualities, which I first encountered a few years ago at an Oxford University reunion luncheon. How could one know her looking for me futilely at this year's luncheon in April would result in my never seeing her again - I had skipped out and went to the dinner instead, where she was not.
Whether dancing at the Athletic Club or Harvard Club, having tea or drinks at the RTR or her apartment, or just chatting over the phone or via email ("where are you, Kent?", I was forever enchanted by her business sense and personal beauty. Whatever I can do to support the nearest survivors, Linda and Tara, or to share feelings and memories with others who knew Peggy, I would be most keen to do so. Some pics are attached to remember some happy times.

I was saddened to learn of Peggy's passing. I enjoyed seeing and speaking to her at Dutch Treat luncheons. She was elegant, charming, loving, fun and caring. I will miss forever seeing her beautiful face.
