Peter, whose birthday is today, will love being reminded of how proud his family has always been of his talent for the performance arts. Here he is, smiling with his Grandma Val and Grandpa Stan, on some long ago Friday night at the Laker High School football field. Mellophone in hand and decked out in Laker green and white, Pete is the epitome of a marching band kid.
Years later (and we won't count) Peter is on staff with the Spartan Marching Band at Michigan State University and with State of Art, MSU's award winning winterguard unit. All of this ensemble experience -- bands, winterguards, colorguards, drum corps -- gives him skills that he takes into his day job. He knows organization. He helps people pull together and perform well.
Happy, happy birthday, Peter. Here's hoping for lots of smiles today.
