Peterson High Pirates

I'd like to thank Carol Greener for all her hard work over the years to keep our alumni connected. She ran this webpage, the facebook page, and coordinated all the Mega reunions. Carol has now moved out of state and is seeking a simpler life. 

                                    I've agreed to help keep this webpage and the facebook page up. I won't be as active as Carol was, but I will do the best I can. Please let me know of updates to classmates and I will make the needed changes here. Best wishes and be safe during this SIP.

Sincerely,
Mark Gay
Class of 1981
