Peter died Aug. 25, 2000, in Seattle of a stroke. Entering Princeton from St. Louis in 1942, he served in the navy from 1943-46 as an ensign in the Asia-Pacific theater. He graduated in 1948.

He graduated from General Theological Seminary in NYC in 1952 and was ordained an Episcopal priest, first serving at Trinity Church in NYC. Subsequent service included Albuquerque, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Cyprus. A stroke in 1994 ended his career.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Vail, son David, daughters Rachel, Anne, and Mary, and five grandchildren. The class extends its deep sympathy to them.
