Peter Laser an interesting man

I knew Peter well, ever since he walked into my store in Woodstock NY and offered to sell us some closeout schmatas. Picked up some stuff for spring, at Great prices and we got to talking. He too lived in Woodstock. We had both been professional actors, working actors. He was no longer interested in acting and I kept my hand in doing plays locally. We had alot in common and shared quite a few differences as well, a sound base for a friendship. Many a summer's evening, often till 11-12 pm was spent rolling backgammon dice and shooting the breeze. He was my, and my late wife's good friend. I shall miss ole Peetsee.
