What a GREAT Man!
Dear Genie,
Please accept my condolences to you and your family. Peter was such an inspiration to everyone. I always enjoyed our conversations, his great sense of humor, and even the practical jokes! It was always great being with Peter at the various runs and the trips to the Escarpment race. What a privilege for me to have known such a “gentleman and scholar.” Genie, I have been keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and please keep in touch. Let’s get together soon! Mike
