SuziQ, I always imagine Peggy reading her articles to me, too. I once saw her on CSpan with Shelby Foote, the civil war historical writer, and they read aloud old letters from soldiers to their families. His musical Southern voice is as beautiful as hers. Needless to say, I was sitting in a puddle by the time they finished reading.
Oh Man!! What a treat that must have been!! I loved Ken Burn's Civil War series mainly for the anecdotes told by Shelby Foote. Someday I will tackle his three volume History of the Civil War. If he wrote it like he speaks, it will be a pleasure to read, and I'll probably be hearing his voice the whole time.
I think Martin Sheen must have studied Shelby Foote's voice when he did Robert E. Lee in "Gettysburg"!
