I wanted to say that Peter Rice is responsible for the wargamer that I am today. As for many of you out there, Peter was a lightning rod for us who were interested in this hobby and looking for a way to pursue.
To Peter, I was always his "tall Arian Blond type," especially when playing "Follow Me."
I recall one time when he was past 50, he said to me, we are now at the points in our lives when people close to us start dying. Another memory is at a Main Con so many years ago. I was running a historical miniatures game and there was a loft above us and the kids up there were playing D&D. I started to chant D&D over and over again with a few others in an attempt to make fun of those playing the game. Ray and I had by then opened the Toy Soldier in Newburyport. Peter came up to me and whispered, "remember what side of your bread the butter is on"… chuckled and walked away.
Peter was Wargaming in Maine.
