Loved the CBC show about this great Canadian. I actually listened to it from the CBC website where all of The Late Show programs are available for streaming. Here is the link:

I too loved the show, I had not heard of Peter till I heard Gordon's show on the weekend on CBC radio one from our cottage in Huntsville On. Does any one know if Peter's story is in print at all??
