Memories of Peter
Peter was a bright, friendly, goofy, happy-go-lucky boy. He made instant friends with the mega-watt grin that was always on his face. I start smiling just thinking about Peter.
    -- (Sally Konley, Friend)
I was in second grade at the time of the fire, Sister Faustina's class I think. Peter's Uncle Joe and my dad, Jack Galgano, were best friends -- they grew up together in the neighborhood. I have a very nice memory of Peter visiting our house on the Thanksgiving before the fire. I was sick and in bed and I remember him coming to see how I was and cheering me up! I also have a very vivid memory of the night of the fire and Peter's parents frantically looking for him -- asking me if I had seen him -- it's not a good memory.

I was in kindergarten with Peter when we did the McNamara's band with Sister Mary Remi.
