Mr. Peterson was the shop teacher when we were in junior high. He also taught some classes in 8th grade science. His wife Alma was a third grade teacher, whom some of us had. She passed away July 10, 2005. They had two children, Nancy and Dwight. Dwight may have been an Eagle Scout. His mother would bring copies of Boys' Life magazine to school for us to read in our free time.
