Honorable Mention
Peter is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Marine Corps where he served in various command and staff billets around the world and is a decorated veteran of the Gulf War. He tutors writing and communications at the College of Southern Nevada.
Prior to writing screenplays, William Goldman wrote fiction. His novel, Boys and Girls Together, a coming of age story of some length, provided me an inspirational quote that I have carried with me since I first read the book in 1971.
" We are not remembered for what we are nor for a moment that portrays us truly, but more often for some one time wonder which we cross just outside the natural orbit of our lives."
