Keith's Story
After graduation I went to Rutgers for a semester and a half; and then, due to disinterest in further education, dropped out. Approximately three years later I began working in the family business -- the Eardly T. Petersen Co. in Westfield.

Today those interests have largely been replaced by a primary, earnest and on-going concern for the eternal well-being of every person. To this end I have published a Christian book, am working on another, and have built a small Christian website.
