Pete and i hung around quite a bit. The main memories i have of Pete was, he always had your back. He was one of the toughest guys i ever met. Another was his great desire to follow in his fathers footsteps as an equiptment operator. Pete and his dad were very close. I remember sitting in the "student lounge" and he'd pull out a 3 1/2 inch folding pocket knife to clean his finger nails. You'd do that now and you'd have a swat team invading the building!! We'd talk for ever about hunting and fishing, never anything about school. I think Pete always wanted to be someplace else. The most profound memory i have of Pete was when his Father came over to our house to ask if I would be part of the burial party that was to handle the funeral for Pete. I remember when they took the American Flag off his coffin, folded it very carefully and handed it to me. Then i gave it to his mother, stepped back and gave her a slow salute. That was by far the hardest thing I've ever done without starting to cry like a baby. Pete was a great friend. The world lost a good man when he died. RIP my friend.
