Peter Cacoperdo:  

Peter is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hmmm. Who am I and where have I been ... I'll try to fill in the gaps since I've only been to one (20 year) of the class reunions and rarely if at all, see my old classmates and friends, especially of late, living in Florida since Easter of 2000. I was not involved in any high school organized activities since at age 12 started working full time for Dad and did not have time for "that kind of stuff" (Dads' words, not mine).
