I've thought about Pete during our planning stages for the 40th class reunion. Pete and I dated in High School. He was a great person and will be missed.

Pete and I were best of friends during most of high school. I have great memories of our times spent together, especially during the summer of 1969 as we approached our senior year. Young Life Camp in Co., and great times together in Pete's blue V.W. I'm so glad I knew you. I'll miss you Pete -
