<HTML>Thanks for the heads up I'll pass the sad news on to his friends here in New Zealand. We have enjoyed his contributions over the years to our local steam magazine and meeting him when he visited.
Cheers

<HTML>I had missed meeting him at the meet this summer, had hoped to but he couldn't make it. Would like to send a card or something. If you could find out what's appropriate and an address would apreciate it.
Sorry News

<HTML>Hi Bill you can find Peters address in old Steam Automobile Bulletins under the officers. Look in the 90"s I know he was an officer in 94 or 95.</HTML>

<HTML>I'm sorry to hear this sad news. I corresponded with Peter for many years from the mid 1960s and exchanged ideas on steam car development. We built the PS77 engines together when I lived in the USA for 2 1/2 years. He made a persistant effort with his steam work and probably built more modern steam engines than anyone else in recent years. He will be missed.
His address is shown in the current issue of the SACA Bulletin on page 3.
