  Loretta was born July 25, 1935 in Claremore to   Herman and Annabell (Busby) Allison.  She received her education here and married Bob J. Piguet on Labor Day weekend 60 years ago.  Two children blessed their union.

 A career in the food service industry which spanned 25 years included positions of Food Production Manager at Bordens Cafeteria, Oklahoma State University, and Rolling Hills Country Club.  Loretta’s experience in  creating meals that were beautiful as well as delicious and doing it on a large scale provided family, friends and even campground neighbors with sumptuous feasts.   Afterwards, a rousing game of cards, Yahtzee or Skip-Bo rounded out the occasion.
