Not sure what to say?

Judy and Peter - my deepest sympathies for your loss. I was a 1981 graduate of the Urban Studies program and Peter made such an impact on my life. He secured me an internship at the state Department of Housing which started me on a 45 year career creating affordable and supportive housing! I just retired and am so grateful that I knew him and that he helped shape my life's work. He was truly inspiring and the world has lost one of its brightest stars.

He was so dedicated to the University and his community. Our condolences.

I´m sorry to hear of Dr Halvorson`s passing...my condolences to the Halvorson family. Dr Halvorson was my advisor as a graduate student `98-`00...i appreciated his guidance and support throughout my tenure @ UConn.

To the Halvorson family: I am sorry for your loss. In the fall 1974 semester I earned a "B" in Urban Geography; Peter Halvorson was probably my professor for that course and he may also have been my faculty advisor until I graduated in May 1976. He must have been a good teacher because I remember his name!
