Peter's Story

Hi Folks! Ater all these years away from Mr. Tom Smith's art class at F.H.S. I have finally managed to have my pottery studio and gift shop I fire my raku in a garbage can kiln in my retail outlet's parking lot. If you want to see some of my pots please look me up on facebook. I met my new wife almost nine years ago on my birthday in Toronto. We were married last October on her birthday. We were married by a female Anglican priest (Father Sharon) on the observation deck in the middle of a swamp in the Kenrei Conservation area. I live in 'The Jewel of the Kawarthas' gorgeous Fenelon Falls where I have my studio/gift shop. Recently during a telephone conversation the mayor of Fredericton (thanks Brad) asked me to come back to live and work in Freddie Beach. Ain't gonna do it. In Fenelon Falls we have two lakes (Cameron and Sturgeon and one river), the population increases in the tourist from 1800 to 30000. I am lucky enough to live here all year. I am on the 'Victoria County Studio Tour' google this for access to the web site. My studio building is an historic property here in Fenelon Falls. For years I worked in Toronto in the area of criminal defense with David Faed, I was regularly at Queen and Bay (Old City Hall criminal courts) not King and Bay (the financial district). I saved my money and got out of the rat race. i kept my long hair and made all my court appearances, crown and judicial conferences like that. Thank god for all those courses in neurolinquistic programming, hypnotism, radical honesty, and trustful communication as it is an absolute necessity to establish rapport with crown attorney's in order to have criminal charges withdrawn for your client. My wife speaks two and a half languages (french, english and italian) and she insists on taking me to northern France (I prefer taking her to Italy). Sherrol studied for five years in the Univerite de Lille and we are at present planning our trip to Paris, Lille, Bourges, and Chartres this sp...Expand for more
ring. Zoom Air from Toronto to Paris, studio apartment in the fifth arrondissement, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Musee de Cluny, Palais Garnier, Sainte Chapel, St.Denis, day trips to Vernon/Giverney, Lille, Bourges, Chartres, Versailles. French custard, hanging out in the Quartier Latin, fifteen dollar coca cola in the Jardin Luxembourg, scratch the coke I'll go for the Orangina instead please. God it is hard to be a Scottish penny pinching miser sometimes. I love life, I love my life and I love the people in my life. Sherrol and I are bird watchers and star gazers. On the Carden plain alvar (half hour away by car) can be found the rare Northern Shrike which is known to impale its victims on thorns. I have lost contact with many friends and aquaintances over the years, I am still tight with my old pals Ralph Atkinson and Danny McLoughlan. My strength is my friends and sometimes I get sentimental for my missing friends. I would like to contact Marianne Doherty, Nancy Lewellyn, Debbie MacFarlane and T. L. S. To all the women that I have loved please forgive me and know that I love my memories of you and I always will. Also. if possible I would like contact with Amy Ayer and Heather Ayer. Tonight is !5 February and Sherrol and i will go the Harry Peterson band rock dance at the local legion with Father Sharon and her husband Craig. Any way I am having a ball and I need to trim some tea bowls and some pickled plum storage jars before they dry too much to work on them. I will clean my wheel of the white raku body and get ready to throw some white earthenware. Yesterday we went to Peterborough to pick up some newsprint for sumi-e brush marks. If any one speaks to Mike Ryan please tell him that not only did they name a city after me here they named an entire county after me (Peterborough county). Wow and I have only been here thirteen years. May I please wish every person who reads this all health, happiness and success now as always. Peter
