To the family of Pete Earley,

Sorry to hear of his death. When I saw his photo I believe it is the same Pete that was a friend of my brother Dick Reynolds who used to play harmonica with him. What an impression was left in my mind from such a long time ago. I believe there was a Cameron Campbell that was a friend of Pete and Dick's as well. Pete left a pleasant friendly influence on me. I hope he lived a joyous life. He left good memories in mine.
