Pete and I really met when I heard he had a dentistry practice in Anoka. I made an appointment to see him. He prodded and poked on my teeth and just kept on chatting. My mouth full with his tools and fingers I could only nod. The one way conversation covered everything from his family, duck hunting, golf, skiing, and lots of tangents from all.
Through that early meeting we ended up skiing together as teammates racing in Ski Challenge, a formal beer league. Pete´s last race featured a nasty crash at the finish line. Turns out, that may have been the last time Pete skied. From there, Pete was golf.
I have to believe that once Pete retired, he never had a day debating what to do, vs. doing something.
Well lived, Pete! You are missed, but loved in your absence.
