Mrs. Peters & Family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We most recently saw you at Big Boys a few months back, and as usual, was greeted with a "well hello there young lady" from Mr. Peters. He loved teaching, but absolutely adored his bride and was very proud of Gary. With most sincere sympathy, Lisa (Tenniswood) Foster, RHS '85

To the Peters family,
Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Mr. Peters was my 7th grade English teacher at the old school on University. I graduated in 1959 from the new RHS. I remember the long hallway in the old school that ran north and south and ended on the north end with the studyhall. His room was on the west side of that hallway not far from the studyhall. Almost across from Mr. McGowan's social studies room. He was a just and fair teacher.

Dear Gary
I've known your father since 1957. He was my seventh grade English and social studies teacher at Rochester Junior High. He first was a teacher and then a mentor who shared his love of sport and education with me. As I went through high school, he was a fixture on the scoring table at basketball games in which I played. I went to college at Adrian and became a teacher who also came back to work in the Rochester Community Schools. Throughout my coaching career, Herb was either scoring my games or taking reports for the local papers. He became my friend. Your father was a primary influence on my life and I still think of him often. I remember a problem he gave to us in his seventh grade classroom, “How do you write, ‘There are three two's in the English language correctly.'� As you can see, I still don't know how. And, he never shared the answer with me. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great man.
