I hope Peter's family is doing well.

Dear Diane Germano,
You may not remember me, but Peter and I worked at Fairfield School For Boys in Lancaster OH from the late 1960s to early 1970s. I'm Carl Glotz, and my wife was Gloria. We went our separate ways when I was hired as a Federal Probation/Parole Officer in Cleveland at the end of 1972. I recall last hearing from Peter when he telephoned me from the Cleveland airport as he was connecting to a flight back home. I recently purchased a 2014 book entitled "Echoes from the Hill: History of the Boys' Industrial School, Lancaster, OH. Inside on page 249, there is a picture of Peter at his desk. It made me curious as to what Peter is doing now. I "googled" his name, and was very saddened by the response. Best Wishes for you and your family. I hope this note is not too late to be shared with you. I had frequently wondered if Peter went into private practice, or was associated with a university or agency. If you care to share anything with me, my email address is [email protected]
Carl Glotz P.S. Whatever became of Tookie?

My condolences to the family.
Pete and I first met in the Psychology Dept of the U of Scranton. I was an undergrad and he a grad student. We always liked each other.
We caught up again when he was at the Hazleton/Nanticoke Mental Health Center and I at the Luzerne/Wuoming Co MHC.
We hooked up for the last time in grad school, he the prof, me the student at Marywood. Throughout those years he was a likeable gragreious lovable guy.
RIP Peter
