Hi Karen,
I just read your coaching article in the Sunday DMN. I found it insightful and endearing. Clearly this man inspired you and you've motivated me to want to learn more about him. Well done!
Best regards,
Rebecca Covell

Karen...what a moving article. You portrayed him as an introspective, artistic, soulful person...and I always thought of him as a hedonistic talented playboy. You and he were artistic kindred spirits for sure. I would love to see his diaries with pictures and his letters to his friends and his writings. My ex husband Bob Grossman and he were friendly...I recall he gave Bob his book back in the late 70s, very early 80s. I think. I remember he told me that Peter was married to Cheryl Tega...why that stuck in my mind, I don't know. I guess they may have attended Yale together.
Thank you,
Vicki Morgan Erenzo
