A true friend,mentor,and gentleman. Dr. Peckham has left an indelible mark on my heart and life that will never be lost. I owe my activity knowledge and skill to his love and leadership while serving together on the board of R.A.P. and working together with himat NAAP. We lost a true hero but God called His champion home after loaning him to us for too short a stay. God bless you Dr. P, I will see you again on the other side.
