To the editor:
I was amazed to read of "Peg" Meyers' passing from this life. The world has lost a fine gentleman
I've known Peg for nearly 50 years. I was just a kid when he used to come to the Salvation Army each week and give of his time to teach a bunch of us poor kids to play horns. We were kids from poor families, but Peg didn 't treat us so. Instead he made us feel we were all impokrtant and we could not only learn to play, but we could grow up to banything we wanted to be. For that I must say, "Thank you, dear friend." Sleep well. I miss you already.
