  email from Betty (Lowe) Wulff, Jan 2002: "Peter was a surveyor for a Pasadena based oil exploration company for many, many years and accepted many foreign postings, generally for two or more years: here, there, everywhere. He wa s in almost every country which starts and ends with the letter 'A.' His work involved mapping for the oil crews who followed and drilled for oil. He liked it in Australia--the weather seemed to suit his health--he had lung prob lems since he was about 16 years old/had half of one lung removed then. He went to an auction of an acreage outside of Brisbane. It had a big house and a smaller one behind 'for the servants'-- and his bid was accepted. So he became a land owner, and eventually started up his own drilling company. I understand he contracted to drill core samples for the Australian government and anyone willing to pay for this. I heard that he received a citation from the government. He married a fast movin' pretty lady named Liz Pyman and brought her home [to Canada] once. The marriage lasted less than five years. Anyway, Peter got to like it in Australia so much, he stayed for 20 some years, eventually dying there. He came home several times, especially after he sold his business and retired--sometimes staying for six or seven months. He always bawled us all out for not visiting each other more. He just drove from one place to another, and again and again, because he had been starving for family. He just could not figure out how we could go for a week withoutc alling or visiting each other. Absence makes the heart grow fonder ! Often when Mom and Pop were alive, and us "Lowe Kids" got together, Mom would lament--"If only Peter were here too!" because we missed him on his long jaunts a way from the family. Finally, before one of his visits home, Don went and painted big black letters on our old yellow garage---"AND PETER TOO!" It is still there for us all to remember how much we gathered together when Peter ca me home. He (and Don too) always made us realize that it was IMPORTANT to stay connected."
