Only met him a couple of times but it was always great to talk with him. He worked with me to build a boat for my Mom's 70th birthday. I didn't have a lot of money so he offered to make one in fiberglass off of a new mold he was going to use. He told me that the first boat on every mold was made from fiberglass so if there was a problem, the financial loss wouldn't be as great as it would be had he used kevlar (no carbon fiber then ) for the first boat. Anyway, he saved me a nice chunk of cash and my Mom still got a boat that only weighed in under pounds; and Pete still apologized for the boat being "so heavy." Quite the guy.
That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
