I met Peg when I came back to Annapolis in 1993. Our paths have intertwined many times since then - always with the Barge House and Annapolis Maritime Museum front and center. I remember standing arm in arm with Peg at a Museum event this past year. She chuckled and said she felt a bit like a museum piece herself. In the very best sense of that sentiment, Peg, you were just that. You were full of beauty and wisdom. When I was with you, you brought a smile to my face and, yes, I stood a little taller because I knew I was in the presence of someone very special.
You won't miss the opening of McNasby's. You'll be there in the twinkle of the sun off the creek in early morning, in the laughs of children learning about their communty and in the hearts of all of us who will remember you and smile.
