I was eleven years old when my family moved to an old farm called the Metzger place out on old route 21 (stonecreek valley). I went to Ankney school and then York township where I met your mother, Peggy Davidson. I was always her freind and thought of her many times over the years.
I saw her last at our 50th class reunion in New Philadelphia. We all sat together at a big round table and reminisced about our times together and what had gone on in our lives since we had last seen each other. Many of our loved ones are gone, my Dan, Buck, Betty and Ed, and many others I cannot recall right now.
I really liked and admired Peggy as it was said of many of us "you came a long way baby".
With sincere sympathy to all of you,
Elizabeth "Pearch" Stafford
