To Peg's Family,

We will miss Peg! She kept us up on happenings in Olathe, news of the OHS Class of 1953, and Kansas politics. Roger and I often refer to Peg as the "Spirit of '53." Her shoes will be very difficult to fill for so many people.

All of us have many wonderful memories of Peg; all of us will miss her so much.

Roger (class of '53) and Barbara (class of '54) Alberty
