Pete graduated from Brighton High School in 1953 and was the BSAA’s co-chair emeritus – a driving force in the association’s founding, development and many accomplishments. He was also a beloved and respected educator, with a 41-year career at Monroe Community College and a part-time teaching career at the University of Rochester as well.

Pete was known for his dedication to the public library system, his church, the BSAA and other service organizations. We offer our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
