Deirdre, Thank you so much for posting this obituary. Although I’m saddened to learn of Peggy’s death, I’m grateful to be able to read her history and to think fondly about this lovely person. And to learn that she lived such a good, long life. I became an art librarian in 1965, being hired by the Toledo Museum of Art. I retired from there in 2009. My first professional library convention was SLA in Minneapolis. I traveled with my mother, who was a financial librarian. The first day, I luckily met Bill Walker, Alan Townsend, and Elizabeth Usher - a stars in the field. If I did not meet Peggy at that time, it would have been within a year or two. She was someone with whom I always felt very comfortable, we being at similar points in our careers, despite the difference in our ages. We only saw each other at SLA or at ARLIS as the years passed, but we corresponded between times and I was pleased to be invited to dinner at the Zorachs’ home once or twice when ARLIS met in New York. Somehow, we lost track of each other after she moved to Maine. But I have fond memories of this quiet, smart, accomplished, and friendly colleague.
