Errata:

1. Peter was not retired. His office was in the lower level of his home, and he was working full time.
2. Peter was born in Moreton-in-Marsh, England, and raised in nearby Chipping Campden. He also spent several years in Egypt, where his father was stationed with the Royal Air Force. Peter served in the RAF for two years, starting in 1945.
3. Peter moved to Toronto, Canada in 1956, and to the United States in 1960.
4. He lived in Denver, Colorado, and in Silver Spring, Maryland before moving to the Annapolis area. In the Annapolis area, he lived in Annapolis, Arnold, Kent Island, and finally Severna Park.
5. He was a member of one of ISO's many technical committees, not "the" US delegate.
6. His wife's name is Maggy, not "Mary". (Actually, Marguerite, but nobody calls her that.)
