Born in the fall of 1942, Peggy Bicknell has had the privilege of truly seeing the world change around her. Growing up in Berea, Kentucky as the youngest daughter of a Southern Baptist preacher she had to work for everything that she wanted to do or achieve. Graduating High School as valedictorian she went on to become a teacher. It wasn’t long after that she married her first love, Rudy Bicknell (the couple remained married until Rudy’s passing in 2012). Together they raised three girls (Kimberly, Jennifer-Gayle, and Cheryl) while simultaneously opening businesses and procuring land all over the East Coast. Now in her mid-seventies, Peggy has had the chance to travel the world many times over and live a life that most people can only imagine.
This site is dedicated to oral histories prepared by Georgetown College students and/or histories from the past, but relevant to the college's history. The projects began in the Fall 2010 and were hosted elsewhere; this new site was developed in the Fall 2011 and contains content from earlier histories. Listen in (adjusting the volume on your computer/device) and feel free to comment below. Enjoy! Sincerely, Earl Grey
