Bob served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War, and they were stationed in Denver,

Co. and Phoenix, Az. before returning to New Orleans in 1955.  In New Orleans Peggy was active in

the Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations as a volunteer, and was a member of local

gardening and tennis clubs.  Bob was a member of the Southern Yacht Club in New

Orleans, and he and Peggy spent many happy years with friends and family on Lake

Pontchartrain.  Vacations in the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s were spent in Florida on the Emerald Coast.

In 1991 Bob and Peggy moved to Bluewater Bay in Niceville, Fl. Together they were active with

the Ft Walton Beach Sail and Power Squadron.  Peggy, with Bob, was a member of the Greater

Ft Walton Beach Camellia Society.  She and Bob had home gardens with over 75 varieties of camellias,

and competed in camellia shows held in many southeastern states.  Peggy was an avid tennis

player, and was a member of the Bluewater Bay Tennis Center for many years.

Hale Kammer, III, and by granddaughters Stefanie and Michelle.  Peggy is also survived by her close

cousin and friend Patricia H. Guizerix, husband A.P. and their family, as well as loved members of the
