Peter's Tribute Event was held at the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka, just south of Arcata, Saturday, April 12, 2003

Approx. 800 people attended the event. There was a lovely reception at the Museum starting at 2pm and at 3pm everyone moved next door to the Eureka Theater to view a wonderful video of Peter's life and work.

Many out of town visitors stayed at the nearby grand Eureka Inn, just across the street from the Museum.

(left) The Public reception at the Museum, (catty corner from the Eureka in), was truly a fine tribute to a man who had accomplished and contributed so much to the history of photography. On Sunday morning, several people were invited to visit Peter's home and Women in Photography International Archive in Arcata.

Quote by Peter from Feb. 4, 2001 video interview "Well, The real message is, that if you're passionate about anything, that's kinda what life's about. so, whatever your idea is, whatever you want to pursue, do it whole heartedly and don't ever let anybody tell you,can't....fine, you can do it."
