Then too, I met Peter when he had the little cottage- which he was sharing with Chuck Fischer. (1980's)<br />What an amazing life Harold had! Such an elegant man.

I think talented people in the profession willing to be a mentor to younger staff is SO important...I've been lucky in my own young career to have had a few such mentors and it makes all the difference.
