Pete Peters, former trustee and long-time friend of the Foundation, died earlier this month at age 97. He held the record for the most years served on the FEE board. A great advocate of the freedom philosophy, Pete founded the Pioneer Institute in Boston in 1988 to address state-level policy issues from a free-market, limited-government perspective. He was especially interested in education.
The Boston Globe obituary is here. A tribute, “The Passing of a Pioneer,” is posted here at the Pioneer Institute website.
FEE’s trustees and staff send their heartfelt condolences to Pete’s family and friends.
