As Pete's SKYPE message says, "The next chapter begins! Better than the last chapter? Of that I'm sure. The best chapter? Hard to beat the years on Oz." If you can figure this out, please let us know.

Back in Vancouver 2009 - 2010

Pete - Being a great Dad and a Son, anything else you want us to put here?

Pete left Lightnin to return to Canada due to family obligations. What we do know is that he drove Dr. Post from the Airport (YVR) to the ferry so that Tom could attend NAMF's Mixing XXII conference in Victoria (June 2010). And of course we hope Pete will fill us in about the rest of his return to North America.
