So long ago

I really knew Peter through Barb and so my memories include both of them and are influenced by the way Barb spoke of him, her deep love for him evident in the stories shared. In those days Barb and I were struggling through the non-profit dance world of the early 1980's. That struggle, however, included many good times: beverages at Sheffield's; dinner at their home always included coffee afterward; the purchase of the house in Evanston; the birth of children; chili cook-off at the house in Evanston with Taylor as a little boy; and Peter's recommendation to me for a wedding photographer. I remember his laugh, his wry sense of humor, and his brilliant mind. I am saddened by his tragic death.
