Pete's memory is of the war days is incredible.  Imagine knowing you wouldn't get meat and fresh fruit because the ship carrying it all was bombed by submarines.  Also imagine knowing that at least one person would read your letter to your mother before she did.  What a pleasure listening to his sharp mind.
