Peter Past and Present

On the sad occasion of the first anniversary of Peter's passing, I decided to post another happy memory of the past and an update on Peter's impact on the present.

Past

This picture comes from the mid-1970s. Pete and I built a small wooden dam on a creek on my father's property near Cobourg. I gave a copy of this picture to Peter in 2002 on the occasion of our 30 years of friendship. The photo's title is "When Peter had a waist and Shaun had hair."

In the summer of 2007, I wrote an historical fiction story and sent Pete a copy. He advised in the strongest terms that I turn it into a book. Peter, who knew my greatest dream was to be a published fiction writer, said, “Shaun, you’ve finally found your voice.”

Present

The book, Counter Currents, is finished. Peter shares the dedication page with my late father.
