I've been trying to contact Pete for the past 20 years. Last I heard he was living in Laguna Beach area.  Over those years I'd sent Pete three letters (notes) without him ever replying.  Does anyone have any information on Pete...  his family, home address, cause of death, etc.  Please contact me at 218-445-5044 = Home OR 218-640-6260 = Cell  OR rshipley65@gmail.com 

Thank you, in advance,

ron (sonny) shipley [in] Minnesota

Little humor about Pete and myself:  He and I were very close friends in our Freshman year; along with Kenny Blair, Michael Kahl, and Dewey Morgan. We (the 5 of us) had all pooled our lawnmower, and car wash money then purchased - for $15.00 - an old "29 Model A" that the previous owner (unknown) had "hacksaw cut" the top off. (That came to a whopping $3.00 each; big money hack in those mid 50s!)  Still it was a cool car for us which only Kenny Blair could drive; legally. Many great memories, during our time back in the mid-fifties!  In truth, it was for teenagers, the (sadly) last of the 'real' "Happy Days."

I remember Pete being married to Melinda (Cookie) Blair rather than Jewett.

I always thought Pete Wadsworth was a "Cool Cat" even at Wilshire. Maybe the closest to the Fonz we had in Fullerton.

I grew up next door to Cookie, Steve and Randy. I was born after their divorce.

So, I'm sure my family knew Peter. Our condolences to the family.
