Former art school, gallery and bookstore owner Philip T. "Peter" Cate, a longtime soccer coach and referee, a friend to countless students at Santa Fe Preparatory School and a man with twinkling eyes and a penchant for corny jokes, died Sunday in Santa Fe. He was 91.
Cate brought soccer to Prep after moving here from the Boston area with his wife, Marsie, in 1970, and refereed matches well into his 80s. Prep athletic director Todd Kurth said that in recent years, any time he ran a soccer match on the school's field, "I always set a chair out for him, and he would invariably show up." Not only that, Kurth said, but "he would always tell me what my teams were doing wrong. And he always had a word for officials to let them know whether they were out of place, or what calls they missed -- a...

Picknelly, third-generation president of Peter Pan Bus Lines, the regional transit business started by his grandfather, Peter C. Picknelly, is quick to point out that, while he's ventured far out of the Springfield area to find new places for date-night dinners, he's still quite partial to established eateries in and around the City of Homes. In the first category are purchases of companies including Camfour, a firearms distributor based in Westfield; Belt Technologies, an Agawam-based maker of metal belts and pulleys for several applications, including aerospace, medical equipment, and food processing; another firearms distributor in Austin, Texas; and a woodworking company based in Connecticut.

Nevertheless, he was hooked. "It was such a remarkable experience, sort of squirming your way through these passages that weren't much bigger than your body," [Peter Quick] recalls. "You're going headfirst down these slopes, and you're thinking, My GW Your shoulders barely fit, and you're squeezing through, and you realize after a while that you're, like, 100 feet under the ground, in solid rock, and that this is the weirdest thing to be doing.
The biggest threat to someone underground is hypothermia," he says. "Caves are cold and wet, so you need to be dressed appropriately." Other rules include carrying three sources of light per person and caving in a group. Four people is an ideal number, says [Rick Pingree], who also helps delineate the difference between "cavers" and "spelunkers...

Ayako Tsuruta is quick to tell you 2004 was a very good year. Peter Miyamoto is the first to agree.

BALTIMORE - Having grown up a diehard Baltimore Orioles fan, Billy Leahy took pride in having attended Opening Day for 19 consecutive years.
Leahy's streak began in 1981 when he attended St. Mary's Elementary and ended in 1999. That is when he became fed up with the management philosophy of owner Peter Angelos, who believed in the quick-fix approach of signing high-priced free agents.

It takes Peter Gabriel a long time to make a record. One of those "record it quick and get it out there, warts and all" guys he isn't. Gabriel's last official release as a solo artist came in the form of 2002's brilliant "Up." Since leaving Genesis in 1975, he has released only seven albums. Not exactly prolific, our Peter, is he?
Yet Gabriel has never stood still, filling the gaps between his meticulously crafted -- and, it should be pointed out, always well worth the wait -- solo albums with impeccable soundtrack work ("Birdy," "The Last Temptation of Christ," "Rabbit-Proof Fence"), experimental commissions ("Ovo"), the creation of a record label and recording studio (Real World in Bath, England) and full immersion in various humanitarian and music technology endeavors.

Amid mounting controversy about its $6 billion sale to SL Green - and with a Nov. 22 shareholder vote looming - Reckson Associates Realty Corp. is playing defense.
Board members Peter Quick and Douglas Crocker II defended the deal in a letter addressed to Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder Advisers LLC in Manhattan. Last week, that Reckson shareholder said it was voting against Reckson's plan to sell itself to SL Green.
