I knew Peter, when he was young. Never expected that he could kill anyone. He always cared for people. Something must of snapped because its not him. I was happy to hear about his award because that is the person I new. I haven't spoken to him since late 70's. I have prayed for him many times through the years and will continue. friend in past Beverly
