I was a supplier of Tom's and enjoyed the times that I spent with Mildred as much or more as I did with Tom. "Peggy" as Tom affectionately called her had a sweetness and sophistication that complimented Tom's occasional gruff and crusty demeanor. I was amazed at Mildred's ability to paint and always enjoyed going to their house and seeing some of her beautiful works. She was a lovely lady both inside and out. I enjoyed watching Tom get quiet at times and see the twinkle in his eyes as he would listen to Mildred speak.
