In memory of Peter Bragdon
It would be almost impossible to overstate the impact Peter Bragdon had on my life, and I know he had a profound impact on many, many others over the course of his time at Govs. Like so many of us, I received numerous cards and letters from him over the years. Back in 2021 he sent me a lovely card and included this photo from a visit he made to Chicago (I think back in 2003 or 2004). Peter will be missed. He made an extraordinary impact on our community, and leaves an enduring legacy.
