farm—as so many teenage gals did inthe 1950's—that I couldn't resist writing about it.  \nTheDouglas farmon RuralRoute2,Caledoniaisstillinfullswingthese days,operated by John Douglas,Peggy's younger brother.The log cabin was dismantled and sold to a Toronto buyer in 1962tobe rebuilt for museum purposes.Anew and perfectly level homenow stands on the premises.  \nCountless biographies and autobiographies of movie and stagestars fueled my mother's passion for the art of entertainment.Hermany batons,sashes,trophies and pageant outfits remain a partof our lives today,each one a remembrance of a great period ofcelebration and excitement of what could be.This play is dedicatedwith great love and admiration for Peggy/Mom.  \n—Melody A.Johnson  \n# Production History\n\nMiss
