 ===== Biography ===== ===== Biography =====
-Peg Kincaid was a 54-year old divorced woman who lived in Topeka, KS. She had one older sister, Meryl Rasmussen, of Tacoma, WA. Peg and Meryl were very close as children, being only 11 months apart in age, and even invented a secret language called "Puglish" to communicate with each other. Puglish was a simple substitution alphabet that used symbols such as seahorses and lightning bolts instead of letters. The sisters used Puglish to write secret messages to each other about "which teachers they hated or boys they liked" that no one else could read.  +Peg Kincaid was a 54-year old divorced woman who lived in Topeka, KS.

-Before joining Lumon, Peg worked for 12 years as a bus driver for Clover Elementary off Route 2 in Topeka. She enjoyed the job and the children (despite not having any of her own), but reached a breaking point one February after accidentally hitting black ice and crashing her bus into a ditch. It took hours for the children to be picked up and the bus to be towed, during which Peg and the kids had to wait in freezing temperatures with no heat. +Before joining Lumon, Peg worked for 12 years as a bus driver for Clover Elementary School off Route 2 in Topeka.

 After this harrowing misadventure, Peg decided she needed a new job. She went to the Lumon Industries branch in Topeka after hearing a well-placed recruitment ad on the radio. She was offered a position on the condition that she agree to the [[Severance procedure]]. In exchange for an office job with reasonable hours, great benefits, and four times the pay, Peg happily accepted. She considered not having to remember her work day an extra bonus.  After this harrowing misadventure, Peg decided she needed a new job.
