Whatever Happened to the Peanuts Gang?

     I don't know about you, but I've always loved Charlie Brown and his ol' Peanuts gang. I started watching it in second grade, when my teacher played the "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". And I confess, every year we always watch the Thanksgiving and Christmas ones too, and I even went to watch "The Peanuts Movie" last to last year. Ever since, I've wondered what's happened to the Peanuts gang. So below, I've made a list of what I think all the characters have done in their lives (as they're all about 70 years old now from when the strip started in 1950 when Charlie Brown was 4).
     Charlie Brown ended up coaching baseball, and even though his team never won a single game, he still kept a positive attitude towards the sport. His sister Sally became a teacher, ironically after the fact she hated school, and is now retired after teaching the third grade. Linus became an English professor after attending Harvard on a full scholarship, and gave up his blanket a few years before middle school. His little brother Rerun also was quite fortunate and went to live in Paris, and is now a retired marbles champion. Lucy continued courses in psychiatry and became better, and soon had her own business in a few years after college. Schroeder did become a quite famous musician, but never as famous as Mozart. Peppermint Patty dropped out of high school to become a waitress at a local restaurant, and soon raised enough money to buy her own little house, where she still lives today. Marcie went to Stanford on a full scholarship and became a successful doctor, keeping in touch with Peppermint Patty along the way. Pig Pen was denied many job interviews mainly because of his unclean lifestyle, so he finally got his act together and used a little soap, and now works as a museum guide. No one knows exactly what happened to Heather (the little red haired girl) after she moved away the summer before high school. Woodstock passed away when Charlie Brown was in college, living about 15 years, and soon Snoopy followed, much to the grief of Charlie Brown. He never bought another dog. Right now, they are all in a retirement community in their home state of Minnesota, where they have a blast reminiscing about their childhoods.
    So I know there are many other Peanuts characters like Franklin, Sherman, Peggy, etc., so what do you think happened to them? Do you agree with what happened to Charlie Brown and his friends?Image result for charlie brown and friends
