Today I lost my father.
For over 30 years, Peter Panton was an important part of my life. He had no obligation to raise me or my sister, but he did anyway. He helped to build a stable, normal life for a single mom and two kids, long before it was fashionable to be a single mom. He made a decent living in computers long before you needed a master's degree to get an interview. Peter showed me my first Porsche, and owned a BMW long before yuppies discovered German engineering. His sense of humor was different, but I appreciated it because I think much along the same lines. I am forever in his debt, not only for introducing me to computers and air cooled sports cars and single-lens-reflex cameras and so much more, but mostly for being there. Even though 1000 words would barely scratch the surface, that's about all that I can write right now. |
