I often look down at this old plaque in Balboa Park as I walk from the Spreckels Organ Pavilion into the International Cottages. It’s situated next to the walkway after you cross Pan American Road.
To me this little plaque is a mystery.
The name Peggy Angus is probably known by some who are knowledgeable about our city’s history. When I perform a Google search, I see she was an active member of the Kiwanis Club of San Diego. She’s mentioned in two different San Diego Kiwanis Tidings newsletters back in 1955.
The plaque celebrates Peggy’s birthday in 1983. Why was it placed in Balboa Park?
Please leave a comment if you know anything about the history. Other readers might be interested to learn more about Peggy Angus and her birthday plaque, too!

I did find this. Maybe her maiden name would help in a more in depth search. Looks like she died in 1983… so a weird coincidence that she died the same year this memorial was placed. She was cremated, so even weirder if her ashes were below this marker. I’m sure there are laws about that kind of thing though…
