Pete,
Thank you for your deep commitment to Wolf Ridge and for the many years you devoted to educating and inspiring generations of young people. The experiences our daughters had with PCCS and summer camps at Wolf Ridge created lasting memories and continued to foster a deeper appreciation for nature, stewardship, and lifelong learning.
Your leadership helped shape a place that has touched countless lives, including those of my children. The lessons learned there extend far beyond a single visit, as they are carried forward and shared with others for years to come.
We are grateful for your service and wish you and your family all the best in this next chapter.

Pete, as you start your next chapter of life, I want to wish you all the very best to you and Sue. Your immense contribution as executive director at WR is a direct attribute of your personality and the diligence and discipline to keep focus on the things that needed to get done at the campus. Your tremendous knowledge of the school and its operations is just phenomenal. Your ability to stand in front of anybody and especially the donors and speak volumes of the achievements of WR and that in itself is a marketing genius in you.
You will be missed in a very big way and hope you keep in touch with the campus from time to time.
Again, I want to wish you and Sue the very best going forward in your retirement.
Cheers

Pete, you are an indelible part of the Antioch University/Wolf Ridge partnership and I will forever remember Libby McCann and I taking a jaunt up to see you for a mere 24 hours to solidify our work together. I also remember Libby saying, "I didn't realize this would be so important and so energizing!" You always had faith in us, and faith in the partnership. For that I will be grateful. Wolf Ridge is so lucky and blessed to have had you at the helm these 40 years. May you spend time for yourself and your family after giving your all to the organization. You are such a rock star!

Pete, you have been a delight to work with over these many years. A true champion for sustainable living and conservation behavior, you walk the talk with such passion, you bring everyone along with you. I love how when we have brought our sustainability network to Wolf Ridge, a two hour tour of campus easily stretches to a half day because of the depth of knowledge you bring about your buildings, systems, and campus. Enjoy retirement and applying your passions to other things in your life!Pete, you have been a delight to work with over these many years.

Dear Pete,
Congratulations on your retirement and on having been a director of Wolf Ridge for such a long time. It is the most inspiring and beautiful ELC I know and I am still grateful that I had the chance to be a student naturalist in '85 and '86. Thank you for taking such good care of Wolf Ridge! I am looking forward to meeting you and Sue again in '27. For now, take care and enjoy your well-deserved free time with Sue, family and friends!
