I am so sorry to read about Peter´s passing. I was a undergrad in Oswego and lived the upstairs apt in Oswego in 1976 . Peter was a cost engineer at the Fitzpatrick nuclear facility. He purchased a Barbar chair repaired the gas fireplace and was a true gentleman. I joined him on a trip to his parents home Georgetown. He had a postive impact on my life when I really needed it. I have often thought of him and wished I had been able to contact him. RIP

Anne,
I have never met you or your family, but I went to high school at Landon in Bethesda, MD, with Peter a long time ago. We graduated in 1969. While Peter and I were not best frieds, I always liked him and was somewhat jealous of his intellect. Landon is/was a very small family, and we don't forget about anyone. I wish the best for you and your family.
