In 1981 when I went off to college I was feeling a little lonely and wrote
Pete (for some reason). I was completely stunned when I received a full page
letter back, encouraging me to "talk to that God guy, he helps." The real
shocker was at the end of the letter, Pete wrote "Please note my new mailing
address...I've moved!" A couple of years later I wrote to the new address
before a trip to England to see if there would be any shows or practice
sessions. Again, Pete wrote a full page back. It arrived after I was in
England, but I had my mother open it and read it over the phone. Like
Jacqueline, these two pieces are a very important part of my WHO collection.
