I don't think we have heard the last from this fellow. What a commitment.

I took a class with Peters about 12 years ago. His work was meticulous, but straight forward. What I'll never forget, and you can see it in the DVD that Cosman made, is how he touched the wood constantly, feeling for anything that was out of place, but it was obviously a very sensual thing.

Although I thought that he was a good teacher, he could also be overly demanding and "do it my way" kind of person. Two folks left the class early because they could not work with him; however, I think even then, some aspects of his dementia, that contributed to his death, was evident, along with hard to control diabetes.

I'll never forget his piston fit drawers, how one would move when you pushed in the other one. He was fun just to sit and talk at lunch with him during the two week class.

I actually like his designs better than Krenov's, but they were in a different style.

We have people coming after them (Peters, Krenov, Maloof) but there will never be folks like them again, which is probably good; we always need new ideas while remembering the previous ones that made the new ones possible.
