  1. Got to reconnect with Peter at reunions over the past 10 years or so. Came to really appreciate him, his experiences and as a good guy. Will miss a re-connected friend & classmate.

      Peter’s passing, the thoughts of when we were at Williston, and then Chris’s comment……

      I remember Peter at Williston……we had some good times…….and I went back to check the 1968 Williston yearbook in which he wrote….shortened……

      “You, Boother(Chip Booth), the Cooper (Rich “Coops” Cooper) made my room a party room……………Will miss the good times………Good luck!!!…………..”

      I only wish I had been in a position to have known him more after we graduated — would have been fun (like with many other people)…………………..
