It's been a while since I thought of Pete and acted on it. I thought of him today and decided I needed to do a search until I got results. Unfortunately, it wasn't the result I expected.
Pete and I did some really stupid things together, but I really cherish the friendship we had. We traveled the Monkey Trees, (I wonder how many remember them), swam in the quarry and built a raft in the Kennebec...we were both adventurous.
Rest in peace my friend.
