I am Laurence J Peter’s eldest daughter. Please correct the Life section.
Correct: spelling of middle name, teacher 1941, distinguished almunist WSU, wives and children.
This section should read – in part:

He received his bachelor’s (1957) and master’s (1958) degrees in education from Western Washington State College.
