To the Amidon family. How grateful I am to have experienced Peter and all your family. He was an artist in residence at READSBORO when I was there and left a beautiful footprint of songs and dances. He have dinner with us one evening. May God rest his beautiful soul. His songs and dances will live on forever. With much love and many prayers, Mandy Comai
