I live at 49 North Pleasant Street. I am known to my friends as Peggy. My favorite subject is science. My hobbies are shells and astronomy. For recreation, I enjoy basketball, swimming and horseback riding. I would like to be a WAC. ...Peggy Habecker

I have two children, James Whitman and David Kerwin. My husband Clarence and I and the kids enjoy camping, hiking, exploring Indian ruins and ghost towns, collecting Indian and Southwestern crafts and jewelry. It's been 15 years; but, oh, there's never been a dull minute! I wish I could be at the reunion. Please tell everyone I said "Hello"!
