Good on you Peggy O'Neal

[graystar1]

That is a pretty serious level of recognition there. To be appointed a Chancellor of a University. Well done Peggy.

Chancellor's fulfill a largely ceremonial role, but they are appointed in part to promote the institution and inspire those who attend.

When I graduated years ago, the Chancellor of the University I attended was Fred Chaney. All of the students looked up to him because his leadership was phenomenal. That rare breed being a Liberal leader with a strong sense of social and specifically indigenous justice.

He presented me with my degree and spoke to me after the ceremony.

To be acknowledged by someone who I so greatly respected made it the proudest moment of my life.

Well done Streak. Think Peggy is cast in the same mould.

In all seriousness
We don't have to wait till she dies before we have a statue of her alongside Jack Dyer.
Greatest human to come through those doors at punt rd in over 40 years.

I think something with Dimma, Benny & Peggy would be the go

Something on the punt rd wing
Would be unbelievable.
A statue of Hardwick Gale & Peggy looking over the ground but also seen by people driving past on punt rd.
Perfect position

Not bad for a woman from a redneck town in West Virginia!

I think something with Dimma, Benny & Peggy would be the go

Something similar to the holy trinity that is outside facing Old Trafford .
The Dennis Law, George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton Statues greet everyone that arrives to their Ground

We're going to need a walk of fame with the number of statues we'll need to build at Punt Road.

A wonderful, genuine and unassuming person is Peggy.
I'm assuming she will automatically attain life membership of the club she has so astutely steered.
Football clubs need more personnel like Peggy. An absolute gem of a human being.

Well said BT. Agree with everything you wrote

Peggy's got a new gig at RMIT. Don't think it means much for her role at Richmond but she's obviously in high demand

Lucky us, we got one of the seriously good Yanks. Well done again Peggy.

What a wonderful lady, and I mean lady, is our Peggy.
We are so lucky to have her as our President and to named Melburnian of the year, is no mean feat.
Congrats Peggy on a well deserved award, which focuses on your work for housing for women in difficult circumstances.
Nothing as yet on the RFC web site, but it is Sunday, so day off I guess.

Queen of the Jungle
Her contribution to our wonderful club will never be forgotten.
A leader in all areas and we are all privileged she chose us.
