Re: Lloyd Gledening Peffly
I just happened upon the entry in regard to Lloyd Peffly. He was a close friend of my father, Roland J. DeLorme, with whom he worked for many years. I have warm memories of him and his family. I understand that his son, Ramon, who also worked with my Dad, now lives in Yuma, Arizona. Does anyone know if his daughter, Rosa, still resides in the Grays Harbor area? I know that she wrote an article concerning Methodist Church history in that locale some years ago.
