Memories

A great personality

Kevin Severud Jul 23, 2007

If you ever listened to Pete's "circular file" at the end of his newscasts or the way Pete would often start off his radio show you know he had a light hearted, humorous personality. This was exemplified even better by the shorts created by Mike Amatori. He was far too young to leave us and will be greatly missed.
