My father and Jim Tallant served in the Navy together (Shipmates) and they were good friends. When I was a teenager I met Jim and he put me to work to help clear brush and do some lawn work at their home in Cove Point across from the Gas Plant. Sammy was active with the Fire Dept at that time. Whenever I was at their Cove Point home Peggy would always treat me kindly offering me drink or food. She is an outstanding woman. When my father died in 1981 Jim & Peggy held a post funeral get together at their Cove Point home. I will always remember the kindness they had shown to me and my family. I lost touch with them when they moved to Florida. I will be sure to keep Peggy in my prayers!
