I was but a child in his experience with, yet he took me on always helpful. Another mentor gone in even helping on old lights history. I am very sorry to not in the future see his always happy to see you spirit, and training he gave me. "Hallow There" he would always make in visit to me even if not about me in project but in visit. Needed more time to understand in limited exposure to fully understand what he knew. Now, the stuff I used to ask is without him...

Peter was also the founder of Chicago Spotlight. A free yellow pen with every rental contract. I still have a couple...somewhere. OMG they're over thirty years old!--I bet they don't even write anymore.

He will be missed.

I did not know that. In than in some way it helps to sustain his legacy in the follow spots he used to sell to and service to area venu's. With good support by Strong, a refreshed inspiration to keep those old lights going in factory or better condition. I was not looking forward to servicing the ones we didn't get to before the big shut down, But now look forward to it.
