Peter, I met you about 12-14 years ago when you first started this job. You saw me running outside your house with my kid in my jogger and you took the time to reach and out invite me on a run. We had a brief stint as running buddies (I don't like running), but you spoke a lot about your excitement in this new job. It's amazing to see that you are still at it. Thank you for your service and your pragmatic solutions oriented message of hope.
