Dear Kathy,
Ive thought of you often. Never met Peter, but see he died too young!
You were a wonderful part of my life at Chevron, and were there for me professionally and were kind during my difficult divorce. Thank you, and i hope you see this, and that you are well and happy.
Charlie McDonald, now in Sacramento.

Peter,
You were ahead of me at Harvard, and a very helpful friend as I settled into life in Quincy House, where we shared an interest in getting the House darkroom going again. I regret to this day messing up and missing an appointment we had to get together on a weekend while I was first living in SF, doing my medical internship. You were the first person to make me aware of Pt. Reyes, where I was hiking with my partner earlier this week, in the midst of our current Covid-19 pandemic. Gave you a thought then. Wish we still had you on the scene.

Peter and I put together a recorded classical music presentation in high school at Wuawatosa West HS. I remember every moment of that project, the equipment was crude, however, the results were surprisingly impressive. He was special.

Peter, I only knew you briefly; less than a year. You exited this mortal realm as I entered the adult realm. You gave me my first computer as I left for college and I like to think I made the most of the opportunity. I wish I had know you longer. I am a father now, and married, and I thought of you today, suddenly and vividly. Only now, upon some research do I learn a bit more of your incredible backstory. I wish I had known it back then. Kathy, if you still see this, I want to say a deep thank you to you too. My e-mail is [email protected], and I would love to get back in touch. Yours Truly, Timothy Kelly
