As tommorow's big day dawns, we now wrap our five part series with a look at Peggy, complete with pictures and fun facts for all.
Originally wanted to serve the Catholic Church by aspiring to be a nun
Married to Welk orchestra trumpet player Dick Cathcart from 1964 until his death in 1993, since has remarried to Dr. Bob Felt of Northridge, California
When the Lennons visited New York City for the first time, Peggy astounded her sisters with her knowledge of the city by naming the names of all the bridges and islands of it's harbor.
Served as campus ministry coordinator for Crespi Carmelite High School of Encino, California in the late 1980s to early 1990s
I hope you enjoyed those fun and informative facts about America's Sweethearts of Song!
Love the post, love the blog - I can't wait to pore over every bit of it! And 'Wow' to that version of Greensleeves. I love it more than Guy & Ralna's!
One Peggy-related question, though: is her given name just Peggy, or is she a Margaret (from which 'Peggy' is usually derived)? She is such a lovely girl, and her named never seemed to 'fit' her. Much to my chagrin, there is just not a lot of substantial information about the Lennons anywhere, and I've been wondering this for a while.
The blogmeister is also the webmaster behind the very successful Welk Musical Family.com. I have been a fan of Lawrence Welk since I was a youngster (not too long ago!) and have watched (and taped) his show every Saturday night on my local PBS station, WGTE and sometimes WBGU. My hometown and current residence is Toledo, Ohio and in recent years, I have attended many of their live concerts and had the chance to meet many of the wunnerful music makers as well.
