Science & Astronomy Estate

Peter devoted much of his life to researching and writing about the history of telescopes and binoculars. There are dozens of interesting subjects in the history of binoculars and telescopes to occupied his time. In particular, the history of amateur astronomy in the Portland area includes some fantastic telescopes that needed more attention.

He exemplified kindness and thoughtfulness throughout his life, and he leaves a legacy of scholarly works and art. Above all else, he found wonder and beauty in the world.
