Pete is well-deserving of this position. He has sounded good for a long time and he has paid his dues in alot of ways. On top of that he is a nice guy. "Make a difference" as Stephen Coveys writes. I think Pete will. Cheers, Northern

I enjoyed Pete's playing at the faculty recital at NITES in Seattle last January. He's a fine tubist and a nice guy besides. I wish him the very best.

Great News Pete-

Now we need to have an official Micky Wrobleski type going away party at my house. You can start digging your way to Japan, when you get the hole half way there, we'll throw your tuba down to you!
