Wonderful, Peter, I do wish we could have had another fab dinner together. Memories of your bracing wit and keen spirit will live on in many of us. I look forward to your book!

Knew Peter from the "old" days of Toronto theatre. - what a gifted daredevil he was.

Always well met, Pete. Always with a big wry grin and twinkle in his eye, some choice bit of news to proffer. Worked with him for numerous days with the Champagne Charlie loop group and he made sure we all got paid very well. Shared more than a few pops at the Windsor Arms with Bill and Steven too...with Paul Drake on the ivories in the background. As a matter of fact, Pete was his own kind of Champagne Charlie I think. Thanks Peter.
