      May 1992: Kathryn Varko Smith (Leo): Peggy and Sloan lived on the ranch where Jule lived last. When Jule lived there, Peggy and Sloan lived in house in Echo. The ranch house began to have bees nests and honey oozed from the walls and Jule had to move out and lived in a trailer on the ranch. Doris enjoyed Aunt Peggy's girls and spent time in Portland with Aunt Peggy. Linda (Leo's girl) lived in Portland and saw Aunt Peggy, her mind beginning to wander and could not remember things too well.

      NOTES from Pam Hallmark Wagner: "Aunt Peggy lived Echo OR-had both town house & ranch house (Jewell lived in ranch house). Many fond memories of family gatherings at beautiful home in Echo where Aunt Peggy cooked wonderful meals, using much butter, cream, eggs. Remember Grandma Lennie Bell Smith-big birthday party there-my aunts, uncles, cousins. Aunt Peggy lived with Mary Carol in Portland, OR-in Hollywood District, then to house on river after Peggy helped son in law, Bill, go to med school."
