Pete and I go back to grammar school. Also, we would hang together with Skip DeStefano. I would visit Pete's Dad and Mom at the old Taxi business. Many, many memories, all good. He had first class athletic abilities which were amazing to me. I always visited Pete on my Portsmouth visits. He is a bright spot in my life and I will miss him dearly.
