Not sure what to say?

Peter Boyajian was one of the teachers that had influence in my life. Although I did not continue you in any artistic field he taught me the keys to being a good person. I had the pleasure of knowing him for my 4 years of high school. He was often in my mind when I spoke of my high school experience.

To the Boyajian Family,
Pete was a good fried and colleague of my Father's at Pulaski HS. His humor and friendship has remained a favorite memory of mine and my sisters. We always knew Dad would have company "in the boiler room" when he retreated to take a break. Peter was a great mentor to me when I returned to MATA. I will always remember his smile.

Not knowing exactly what to expect student teaching at Pulaski under Peter, I soon learned how fortunate I was. His students were well trained. I remember one day they were getting a little restless and when Peter walked through the classroom he admonished them to listen to me. And they did! After graduating I got a teaching job in Waukesha. Our paths crossed often when I joined MATA and Peter and I were on the Board together. It was great staying connected to this fun-loving, warm person who...

Mr. B taught me to paint, to love art, and to make art a part of my life. Pulaski High '67. Mary (Richter) Janik

I was fortunate to teach with Peter for four years at Pulaski H.S. He was a warm, caring, and talented man who, as department chair, looked out for his art teachers' well-being and concerns. I also enjoyed his humorous"valentine fantasies" that he drew and shared with MATA members at our February drawing and social event.

I remember going to visit he and Mom at Pulaski. Always a treat to see him!

Mr. B. Was my art teacher at Pulaski in the late 80's. He was amazing and my favorite teacher ever. Rest in peace and prayers for your family.

Hands down, my very favorite teacher at Pulaski. He engaged and inspired me in all his art classes. He was such a nice man and so very talented. My condolences to his family.
