Whom You Know covered this event in honor of Peachy's late grandfather (married to one of the Deegan girls in the pictures!), who was a highly decorated United States Marine Corps veteran of World War II, having served with distinction in the South Pacific area with the 3rd Marine Division, seeing harsh action in the following campaigns, Guadacanal, Bougainville and Guam, where he was twice wounded. Upon his return from the South Pacific, he established a business in memory of his brother Edward (President of his high school class who lived only 18 years) who was killed in action on Iwo Jima. He was a member of the Iwo Jima's Survivors Association, a founding member of the Iwo Jima Memorial in New Britain and a member of the VFW Post # 3272 in Avon, Connecticut. We wish you had the chance to meet him; he was buried with full Marine Corps Honors and we honor him and everyone who has served our country past, present and future.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
