My heartfelt condolences to you all. I too have many great memories of our childhood days of marathon poker games and golf course shenanigans. I'll always remember Peggy's rousing call of "William Clyde!" to bring Bill and I back from the brink of whatever chaos we were up to at the time. Her wonderful laughter and smile made me feel at home.
