It took us over two years to arrange a visit with Mark and Peggy. This is what happens when two old couples try to get together. There with delays caused by covid, cancer, debilitating back pain, and even a heart attack.
We finally got to see Mark and Peggy. Dan has been friends with them for over 45 years. He and Mark met when they were fresh out of their doctoral programs as brand new professors at Illinois State University. Their friendship continued through their entire careers. Their children were raised together. And Mark and Peggy’s oldest daughter babysat dear little Jules and Emily.
We had a wonderful day—visiting, walking around the ponds, sitting down to dinner, sharing old times, and making new memories together.
Mark and Peggy gave us this coaster. It makes us happy every time we see it. It reminds us of a lovely afternoon spent with good friends.
