Peggy Quotes: Pete Seeger's 90th Birthday Bash

I'm just writing to let you know how touched & grateful I was by your poem/dedication to Pete on Sunday. It was definitely the high point of the whole concert for me! Not only was the writing superb, but your warmth & heartfelt, yet skillful delivery were worthy of a fine actress! You managed to evoke in the audience's "mind's eyes" a vivid experience of those days in Beacon, and at once humanized yet lent impetus for our further appreciation of the "Beacon Seegers". - Bill Vanaver

Peggy Quotes 2: My husband, Marky, teaches maths to a group of very intelligent Further A Level students (they are about 17 - 18 yrs old and those super-intelligent whizz-kid types). Yesterday they were getting a bit overloaded and fraught with the 'hard sums' so he played them the One Plus One video as a bit of a breather! They loved it! Marky said all the frowns disappeared and they were all smiling and ready to go at the complex numbers again!
