Island Icon: Peggy Price
by Carol Pastor, Coronado Historical Association Volunteer I recently had an opportunity to interview a local woman of long-standing - Peggy Price. We met at her home and chatted for over an hour. What a story to tell! However, it was not until I later reviewed my notes that I noticed a fact that Peggy had glossed over. We discussed how we both had December birthdays. And when was she born you ask? Her birth date was Dec. 23, 1922. This spry, charming little lady, I decided, needs to be recognized. So this is her story, all 99 years of it. Peggy was born in Brooklyn, New York, the first of three children of James Wynn, a New York City attorney, and Margaret Fararr. Within the next five years, the family moved out to Garden City on Long Island. By that time two younger brothers had joined the Wynn family. Peggy attended local schools until 10th grade when she transferred to St. Margaret’s School, a boarding school in Waterbury, Connecticut, where she graduated in 1941.
