Couldn't wait for Friday night to get out of work, load the family in the car and head for "The Cornfield" and lots of fun. Going to a nice restaurant with Pete and Sally and being told to order the "Peanut Butter Sandwich". Pete going into the water at Sebago Lake to catch the boat when it was drifting away and being yelled at by the officer on duty to "Get out of the water,you're not allowed in there", Pete thinking he was going to be arrested and I told the officer that I had told Pete not to do that. Great, loving times that I will never forget. Charlie and Velma

Danielle West - Granddaughter
Excerpts from her Danielle's letter to Memere'
I really hope that Pepere' knows how much I love him and I am going to miss him like crazy!
I am going to miss the "choo choo train" noises that he used to make that I loved, going to miss being called "Harry" when he saw me. I remember the first time that I ever drove, it was in his truck out on the Lake Winnipesaukee ice with him. I remember playing on his CB radio in his truck when I was younger. All of these memories I am going to hold close to my heart for as long as I live.

Yes Logan Pete, Brett, and Albi had that same experience with my 20 footer inboard , top up waves coming over the bow and we were about 30 miles out, So I told Pete to take over and get us home, That was a wild experience that day, But your dad had the experience to ride the waves just right ,Also 205 horsepower helped a lot too. We did some praying when we got in to the river , We will miss the visits at the cottage and getting it painted in one day so we could get in two days of fishing.
We love you guys and miss you all

My favorite memories of my Uncle Pete... By Frank D
My favoritte memories start at a young age, fishing on silver lake for white perch, staying at the camp and rides in the back of the pick up with 12 kids to get ice cream cones... "I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream". Later on in life and becoming of age sharing a fishing trip at camp ellis for blue fish and mackerel or hanging out at the camp on Kenney Shores with our families. It was so generous of him to share his boat and passion for fishing with me his nephew and his young family (thanks Aunt Sally too!!!) Lobster dinners, digging steamers, surf casting and watching Memere Pratt make clam chowder with the clams we dug if she got any before Uncle Pete ate them all. I could go on forever... My only Uncle that shared the same passions that I have and he always had time to take me fishing. I'll always remember you when I'm on the coast of Maine and will always think of you while deer hunting either on the mountains or on the plains of Nebraska. We love you Uncle Pete and will miss you very much.
Love Frank and Kim

From Brigitte
Dad would leave every night about 11 p.m. to drive his tractor trailer to Boston for Bee Bee shoe out of Manchester NH. As a b-day present he would take each one of us kids with him on his run to Boston. With much anticipation we all couldn't wait for our turn.
On that special night, we'd leaving West Portsmouth St. (the corn field base) at 11 p.m. anxiously arriving in Manchester NH where he would effortlessly pick me up and place my feet up high on the cab floor. Climbing my way up onto the seat and looking out the cab window my excitement increased as dad climbed into the driver seat. He then cranked up the loud engine with the panel of colorful lights came on. That is when I knew it was time to raise my arm and give him the signal to blow the horn. He smiled at me as he pulled the chain and loud blast of the horn could be heard across town. We then headed down Rte. 93 south with dad chattering away while being jostled in his seat from the power of the diesel engine, smoking a cigarette and shifting gears all at the same time.
After picking up our load in dark small alley, dad always had a special gift b-day gift. He would drive his tractor trailer right through the middle of the City of Boston. To this small town girl one can only imagine the delight of looking out the window seeing the tall buildings, Haymarket square and Faneuil Hall. At 1 a.m. the city was alive with people everywhere. The market tents lined the street for blocks with a display of fresh produce, meats and an abundance of colorful cut flowers.
The trip home always included another treat, a stop at Dunkin Donuts for a jelly donut and coffee for dad. We then headed north up Rte 93 while I fought to stay awake, but soon my eyes closed waking up back in NH and dad putting me to bed.

From Logan,
LoganIn 1984 or 1985, there was a day Dad and I nearly perished at sea (NOT the perfect storm). It was a beautiful sunny morning off the coast of Saco, Maine. My father and I were psyched out and geared up for a day of fishing. We headed out the Saco River into the Atlantic Ocean. We were trolling at the time, catching mackerel, striped bass and blue fish by the dozen. It was absolutely awesome. The wind was dead calm and the water was like glass. After a while of catching the same species, we decided to go way out to find rock cod, possibly tuna and perhaps a shark, or anything bigger than the old 1964 Lonestar Medallion which my dad called the Queen Mary. I still own that boat to this day and probably always will for sentimental value.
We got about 10-12 miles out, because you can only go so far out with two six-gallon tanks; you have to make it back to the mooring. The next thing I knew there was a basking shark sunning itself, and it was two times bigger than our Queen Mary. Dad said, "Get closer, Lowe, and let's check it out."
We thought it was dead at first, but Dad remembered his friend from high school/lobsterman/harbormaster in Camp Ellis, Maine - Saco River, told him that they do that before a storm. Well, we had watched the weather and tide before fishing in the Atlantic for safety precautions. There was nothing predicted for that day. Lo and behold, I turned around and noticed a huge black cloud coming directly at us. Dad said, "E Cadis, cavie. Reel the rods in, Lowe; we gotta go."
I said, "Dad, go where? We can barely see land." It was coming with a vengeance. There was thunder, lightening, hail and sideways rain. The ocean, at the snap of the fingers, got ugly. As in the old saying, "The tiny ship was lost."
We had no choice but to put the 70-horse motor full throttle and go with the storm. The waves weren't waves anymore. It was like climbing a four to five story building as we moved over them. The wind was blowing salt water in our eyes and it burned badly. Dad said, "The motor is dying." I suddenly looked back and the motor was nearly under water. The gas tanks and tackle boxes were floating, nearly falling out of the boat. By then I knew I had to swap tanks because we were so far out and needed the gas to get home, and also start bailing water because the bilge pump couldn't keep up. We truly thought we were goners.
Dad and I hugged each other and said our last words. Even though it had been only 15-20 minutes since the storm started it seemed like hours. Then all of a sudden there was light at the end of the tunnel. I said, "Dad, there is a God. It is starting to clear." I guess this was what they call a popcorn storm at sea. You can't predict them, but fortunately someone up there was watching over us. If this storm didn't stop when it did, we would have been slammed against the lighthouse rocks and done. We were sinking - big time!
We made it, hugged each other, and traveled through the mile-long jetty up the Saco River where President Reagan's boat had crashed a couple years prior. Finally, we made it to Camp Ellis pier and standing there were people, relatives and the harbor master, all gathered and waiting for us. It was still too rough to go out and search for us, so all they could do was stand there and wait nervously.
My dad was crying - Mr. Tough Guy crying? He was a rugged man in his day and didn't take crap from anyone. He told me just before we got to the dock, "Lowe, I've only been scared one other time in my life like that."
I said, "When was that, Dad?" He said, "In February 1957, in the Army, on the ship headed to Germany when a big storm came up. Twelve hundred guys were vomiting because the sea was so rough."
I said, "Wow, that must have been quite the experience, no doubt."
On land there were lots of hugs, kisses, greetings, and fisherman saying, "How in hell did you make it through that one?"
I said, "Because there is a God." They just shrugged and shook their heads. Meanwhile on land, the storm had taken lines and trees down everywhere.
I loved my dad and I always

A Memory from Shane
Dad and I water skiing together, on the same skis. I stood on the back, holding onto his legs, my head just about at his hips. I would peek around to see where we were headed down the lake. I looked up and Dad looked like A GIANT, A BIG GIANT. Suncock Lake, Barnstead, NH.

Memory from Allison "BUG".. I hope it brings smiles to many faces as you remember The Train Whistle.
Awaiting for dad to come home from work late evening. Back in the day of CB radios: Dad's handle is Redeye, mine is Honey Bun. Many nights I would sit by the CB waiting to hear my dads signature call- The Train Whistle. When Daddy hit the Hooksett Toll Booth, he would begin his train whistle to let his family and friends know he was on his way back to the Corn Fields. Dad's Train Whistle put smiles on many faces: nieces and nephews would always ask to hear the Train Whistle when at family gatherings. For me I would smile with great pride as that was my Daddy making everyone smile. The Train Whistle will always live in my heart.
