Resident Spotlight
On May 15, 1931, Mr. Bill Peel was born in Clinton,
Arkansas. His dad worked at the Duncan Sand Mill, and
his mother worked as a housewife. As a young boy, Mr.
Peel helped his parents in the garden and enjoyed going
to church. He hated going to school and dropped out in
the 6th grade. At the age of 14, Mr. Peel moved to Bracey,
Missouri where he worked at a cotton gin. He worked
there for 40 years. Mr. Peel says he never married,
but had a girlfriend that was a famous country singer.
Soon after Mr. Peel retired, he moved back to Clinton,
Arkansas. Having family that lived in Little Rock, he later
moved there also. Mr. Peel has lived in several different
places, but now we are grateful he has chosen Pleasant
Valley to be his home. He has been with us since
February 2012.

Field Trip to the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum
Last month, Pleasant Valley residents enjoyed a field trip to the Arkansas Inland
Maritime Museum in Little Rock. The highlight of our trip was seeing the USS
Razorback (SS-394), a Balao-class submarine launched on January 27, 1944. This
was also the largest single-day launch of submarines in U.S. history.
