Peg graduated from Ramond Walters Dental Hygiene Program with me. She and I were the oldest students in our class. Because we were both older with 3 children each, we had a lot in common. She would talk about her children often. On a couple of occasions Peg invited my husband , Ken, and I to visit her and her husband, Ken, for dinner on their farm in Indiana. She was a back to nature person and made her own bread and pasta and canned her fresh fruit and vegetables. She had 3 large plastic garbage cans full of whole grains. I once mistakenly threw trash in one of those 3 cans and she quickly corrected me. She used her knowledge of herbal remedies to made her own healing teas to help her friends and co-workers. Peg was always a hard worker and very compassionate. She and I often engaged in "shop talk" in an effort to help each other. Peg once mailed me a continuing education course at her own expense. She bought a copier so that she could copy recipes and other things for her patients. She will be missed.
