Peter’s arrival at Princeton was delayed by his service in the U.S. Merchant Marine. From July 1944 until March 1946, he was stationed aboard merchant freighters assigned to the Murmansk Run, one of the most dangerous wartime routes in the North Atlantic.
At Princeton, Peter was on the tennis team, the Princeton Tiger, and the Film Club, and was a member of Cottage Club. He majored in English in the American Civilization Program.
In 1955, Peter joined his father-in-law’s investment banking firm, F. Eberstadt & Co., as a securities analyst and then head of institutional research. He later became president and CEO of Chemical Fund, a fund managed by Eberstadt. Throughout the years, he was associated with the Financial Analysts Journal and served as a director of Engelhardt Minerals, Horizons Inc., Fountain House Foundation, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, the Hospital For Special Surgery, and several other organizations. He was a member of the Princeton Club of New York, plus many others in the metropolitan area and elsewhere.
Peter was predeceased by his wife, Ann. He is survived by four children, 10 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
