Peter Golenbock, in St. Petersburg, FA, is still actively writing 
sports books.  He published a children's book about Hank Aaron's quest
to break Babe Ruth's home run record and another (The Last Lap) about
famous NASCAR drivers who died at the wheel.  Next spring an oral history
of the New York Mets (Amazin') will be published.  After graduating from 
New York University law school in 1970, Pete went into the hotel business 
for two years providing housing for college students in New York City. 
After working as a lawyer in a personal injury firm for eight weeks, in 
July of 1972 he was hired to work in the legal department of Prentice-Hall 
Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He soon changed to writing sports books.
Since 1975, he has written some of sports' most important books, including 
five New York Times best sellers. Pete moved from Ridgefield, CT to St. 
Petersburg in 1989 to write about the Senior Professional Baseball League.  
Pete remarks he still can't believe Mickey Beard is no longer with us; Mickey 
was certainly the most visible athlete from our class.  If any classmate 
should arrive in St. Petersburg, Pete would be glad to hear from you.
