Ruth, thanks very much for your response. I love hearing stories and knowing the history behind the names. Still can not add them to my line yet, but holding on to all of this. Ruth, do you know if the Amherst Museum is still open? Going down on Thursday and thinking of dropping in again to check out some info. Cora

Heather and Charlene (Peggy's youngest sisters) would be half sisters as Joan is their natural mother. I'm not sure about Terry, but I think Eileen was his mother.......
