He would go every year to visit his friend Doc Watson and Merle Haggard in the Carolina's just to be in the mountains. Peter would move mountains for people if need be but at the same time he would be the mountain you would not try to climb. Peter loved sitting by the water on a bench at Battery Park in Newport and talk with his friends. Nothing in the world was as great as driving by Dunkin Donuts and going in to just sit and talk with him. He would always start with a Hello there" Peter may not have had a college degree but his intelligence was definitely higher then some of the people with certified education. Peter was raised by his mother and father and lived with his 3 cousins so there was the4 boys. Peters Mom Edie would take turn taking care of the boys with her sister Evangeline. Peter was my father.
