A surprising love story that started in Danville over 60 years ago wound up in this month’s issue of People Magazine. Peggy and Jim were members of the Danville High School Class of 1958. After graduation, they started their separate lives. Several weeks after Peggy Smutz’s husband of 43years died, she received a call from classmate Don Wilson, who had lost his wife of 53 years and wanted to offer his condolences. Having met when they were in first grade, they had many happy memories in common. Bill called Peggy a few more times and began a renewed relationship. While Peggy was adamant that they remain “just friends,” Don proposed and was turned down. Still, they kept up their long-distance conversation. Peggy encouraged Don to try meeting new people via Zoom. She offered to help by being his first Zoom friend. After two weeks, Peggy realized she was falling in love with her former classmate. They met in person for the first time since graduation at another classmate’s house in Danville. Less than a month later, they were married at the Danville United Methodist Church. The happy couple who found new love in their 80’s now live in Surprize, Arizona. Let’s see a Hollywood scriptwriter come up with anything better than that. ______________________________________________
