As you once told me, in the words of Henry Ford, "even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement." May you rest in peace dad.

I knew Pete from our Sky Harbor days, and also when we both flew out of Palwaukee. Pete always had time to stop by to talk or trade jokes with everyone. He will be greatly missed.
