I served with Colonel Petersen
In 68-69 and respected him greatly. He was a natural leader and we all felt that he respected those under him and was greatly appreciated. Very much enjoyed seeing him again at several reunions .
Sorry to loose him but very glad to have known him. A rare and amazing man!
