I wonder if that is Dr. Fletcher’s place!” Dr. Fletcher was my pediatrician, and I’m so grateful to know he and his wife are leaving a legacy of love for children and nature in our community. As a teaching naturalist at Pioneers Park, I think Peggy and I would have been kindred spirits! I hope to be a fun, hardworking, naturalist grandma someday too. Blessings on your family, Dr. Fletcher. Peggy, rest in peace!

Together, they were instrumental in gaining support of the MoPac East Trail and the Oak Creek Trail. Peg understood the value of natural spaces and appreciated the value of trail corridors, especially for children. The Fletchers were also part of a small group of individuals who co-signed a loan to purchase the land for the MoPac East Trail, then worked with others to raise the money to pay of the loan and build the trail. Their devotion to trails, prairie, and nature is a legacy that we all enjoy and will continue to for many years in the future. Peg’s work will never be forgotten and will serve as an inspiration to others.

I miss you. You taught me so much I wouldn’t understand until now. You ingrained in me perseverance when I didn’t know patience. Exploration in spite of fear.
Hope, despite objectivity.

I wish we could’ve talked again. I love you Grandpa.

He was very understanding and supportive during my adaptation to the new culture. He had good humor and also a hard working man. My deepest condolences to Thornton family. I had many fond memories of my exchange year with them all.

Thinking of your family at this difficult time.

We were new to Lincoln at the time and so thankful that we found her and her lovely school – for those two years it was a blessing to us. Condolences in your loss. So thankful for her love for nature and children.
