Love you Mom
Pauline was a special friend to me in the years we worked together at Rathbun House. I remember many Thursday afternoons we spent together. Pauline had a caring heart. She and Pete were so kind to me. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

I wanted to let long-time Douglaston friends, Pete & Pauline Waldburger know that my mother, Joann Bowman Duncan had sadly passed away in Naples FL on Dec 18 when I saw that Pete had sadly died in 2020 and then Pauline only just a week after my mother. So sorry for the family and you are all in my prayers. Peter Lee, Paul and John: remember playing “skiddles” in my grandparents’ home at 268 Ridge Rd?! Your grandmother Louise was my grandmother Virginia’s best friend. A lot of history between the Bowmans & the Waldburgers. I have photos from my mom I’d love to send to you of my mom with Pete & Pauline over the many years. My contact information below. Thanks! Nancy (Baldwin) Wagner, Trinity, FL 34655
Dear Waldburger Family, so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing….only a few days after our mother, Joann Bowman Duncan, passed in Naples, FL. Our two families were friends for so many years. I fondly remember playing skittles in my grandparents’ basement in Douglaston with the 3 boys and visiting Louise, your grandmother. Now that my mom has died, she passed on lots of photos and letters, many from Pete & Pauline. I would love to send you these momentos! Please contact me!
