Mark and I are so saddened to learn of Peter´s death. He helped and mentored us more than he realized, we are sure. We thought about him often, particularly as we got married, moved to the District, and had our baby. He was a constant presence amidst so much change in these past years. We will miss our conversations with him very much. We send our sincere condolences to Sprague, Nell, and family. Mark McHugh and Carrie Greene
