Margaret and Pete always reminded me of my own parents.Loving and welcoming at all times. I worked with Pete at the Larch Mtn. Honor Camp in 1967. He taught me many things, some of which I didn't fully appreciate till later. I surveyed for Pete and Margaret numerous times between 1969 and 2010. I visited Margaret in June of this year at Mallard Landing. We shared stories for several hours and she provided juice and cookies. She will remain in my memories forever.
