Family Friend

FINAL EXAM As a child I grew up in a house constantly influenced by politics. My dad was a member of the Town Council and served on several boards. He was rarely home. On most nights he was meeting his friends somewhere to talk about pending issues and problems involving the town council. Every Saturday night my dad and his group of friends met at Peter Newcomer’s cabin in the woods. That’s how …

…restaurant in Manitou Springs, Peter had a sudden heart attack and passed away. When my dad came home he cried all night. My dad learned a lot from Peter also. My dad used to say “Every day I spend with Pete I learn something that really makes me think” When I have to make a tough decision I always think to myself “What would Peter have done?” Peter’s influences will be with me forever.
