Mr. Peer was my first "boss" and was a wonderful mentor. I wrote school articles for East High back in 1967-68 and was paid $.10 an inch. Even after graduation he was someone I always went back to visit. A lovely man and a gracious soul. A life well lived and an inspiration to many.

Wow, what fond memories I have of Dick Peer's columns written about Campbell. I have a stack of his stories that were clipped from the Leader by my mother, Ola Benjamin Stark.
