    Fly free Tripete

    I spoke briefly with Pete earlier this month and he said it was too hard to type. I asked if I could let you all know this, but he did not manage to reply. This morning I received an email from Carey to let me know that Pete has passed away. We all knew Pete deeply through the sharing here...
