Welcome
to the PETERSON website! http://www.petesmemories.com/
You have stumbled upon a mountain of useless
information. There is also a mountain of very useful information!
Perhaps you didn’t
stumble, but no matter how you came across this website, (http://www.petesmemories.com/) it has something for
everyone!
If
you are a PETERSON, or a JOHNSON, BOE or ELLIS, or a RELATIVE or a FRIEND, or
ENEMY, or JUST CURIOUS, here you will find something that will make you, smile, frown,
laugh out loud, angry, nostalgic, think, and I could go on, but you really just
need to explore the website!. A treasure
trove of old photos and documents!
Some
material is intended for a mature, open minded audience, but some of you will NOT heed my
cautions, and find something that will offend you.
I make fun of all races, and most religions. I attempt to show you
the workings of an angry mind, and the lighter side of many subjects.
First, I want to
thank everyone that has made a contribution to this site. There were many,
and without that, this would be a dreary site! The photos and information are
absolute treasures! Credits
are given in table of contents, and on individual pages.
Second, I want to thank everyone who has used the site, and
passed it on to someone else. This has led to a “snowballing” of contributors. My dear friends from
Newfoundland, from sixty years ago have made huge contributions, thanks to
Wendy Samms!
This
increased the accuracy of some of our family history, and added some precious
photos!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, contact me at
my email, found on index page. Comments and criticism are welcome. We DON’T need
money! We need PHOTOS and HISTORICAL ITEMS!
If you are still
with me, you probably don’t “have something better to do”, and will take the
time to examine some of my creations.
They need to be
examined carefully, as there are many hidden “twists and turns”. Freudian slips
may not be “slips”, and seeming continuity may be purely accidental.
My tortured mind has
chased off two wives, both were good women. I have lost many family members,
including one of my children, and several really good dogs.
I have been “rich”,
and I have been poor, hopeless, in fact! I have battled alcohol, tobacco, and
prescription drugs, and am without tobacco or alcohol for 20 years as of
Thanksgiving Day of 2021.
I have been around
the world, five times, and I feel qualified to have an opinion. You are
entitled to your opinion, whether or not you agree with me. My intent is not to
change your opinion, but only to offer a look at the other side of the coin.
I hope you find your
visit to my website entertaining, and educational. There are worse ways to
waste your time!
Terry Peterson “Pete”
