Peter Hallock photo album

Here is a slideshow I put together of Peter’s 85th birthday party, against the backdrop of his Fall City home, and music “To the supreme being.”

From the more than thirty years that we have known Peter Hallock, we have many photos, memories and hundreds (maybe thousands!) of letters, emails, and faxes, starting with Carl Crosier’s being hired at the Lutheran Church of Honolulu and looking to Peter for guidance. Go back and re-read my posts, “Peter Hallock — The Hawaii Connection, Part I” and “Peter Hallock — The Hawaii Connection, Part II.” I thought I would share a few of these mementos with you in these his last days.

Here are some recent pictures I’ve taken of Peter on our visits to the Northwest.
