Get to know a little more about Peggy:
Q. What are some of your hobbies?
A. I am a skier which is very unlikely, being raised in San Diego, California. I was introduced to it by an old boyfriend about 30 years ago. The boyfriend is long gone, but I have retained my love for the slopes. So, when I had a chance to relocate to Denver, it was a no-brainer.
Q. Where is the most interesting place you have ever been?
A. When I was 18, I joined the Army and was stationed in Europe, specifically Frankfurt, Germany. I was able to travel through Europe for the two years while I was stationed there. It was a great experience.
Q. What are some of your favorite movies?
A. Some of my favorite films are Orlando and Gigi because I am a sucker for musicals and I love the premise of the ugly duckling turning into the graceful swan.
Q. What songs always get you out on the dance floor?
A. I am a product of the disco era. So, any 70’s disco music will get me going. And of course, songs from Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Q. Who is your favorite author?
A. I have two. First, is Tom Robbins. I love his humor and wit. His books are quite fanciful in that the situations are somewhat farfetched … but are they? He loves to poke his thumb in the eye of society and is quite the rebel using humor as his weapon. One of the things I like most about his writing is the lists he incorporates into his work. They are wonderfully lyrical and have a wonderful cadence to them which is priceless.
The second is John Irving. Wonderful use of language, very eloquent. His characters are troubled and flawed but somehow step up to critical moments in their journeys. I like his understanding of human nature. He is a wonderful storyteller of the human condition. He finds grace and vulnerability in his characters at just the right moment.
