I have known Peter for decades and we now know what grace abounds for even us unlovelies. Peters quest for fullness and total satisfaction has sent him on an incredible journey. I have never known an unknown that has met so many well knowns. What is this brush with fame for? The answers are here for you and me. Peter is too humble to mention this. He is now working on his 63rd career.
