  11. We remember Peter as a young man of 15 when we was in our youth group at Eltingville Lutheran Church in 1970-71. We were in New York for that one year. Even then he impressed us as a special person. We were so sorry to hear that he lost his life in 9/11 but know he lives in I. The hearts of those who knew and loved him. We have had the honor of visiting his memorial.
