I can't stop smiling when I think of this. It was during the summer of Pete's Sophomore year at UD and everyone was at our house (Molly's pad, lower level). Pete decided to go for a midnight swim (in the pond) and in the process lost one of his shoes. Molly came up and told Ellen & I that Pete needed some shoes to wear, so Ellen proceeded to give him the ugliest slippers/shoes in my closet-Blue Suede Slip-ons-I have no idea how or why I ever had them-hopefully, I never wore them, but anyway Pete had 'em now.
We didn't think anymore of this until move-in day at UD. After we had finished the move-in with Molly, we proceeded to drive around and visit everyone's new digs. As we walked up to Pete's porch, we about lost it when we see Pete with a beer in one hand, cigarette in the other, and on his feet are the Blue Suede Slippers. Pete wore them with much more style than I ever could have.
Pete, we will definitely miss you and your zest for life but think of you often-so in that respect you are still here!!
James & Ellen Heimert
