Pete's been quoted in two of our local papers lately! In one article he was asked about his opinion of the latest tax rebate stimulus checks, and he talked about how they are probably not going to be all that helpful to the economy in the long-term. And for the other newspaper, a reporter called him to ask his opinion about the future of gasoline prices. (And it looks like he was right on both counts. He's so smart!) Over and over both articles use him as the expert, putting in several of his "quotes" that he told the reporters when they called.
All of it reminds me of a time way back in college when one of his good friends wrote a speech for one of his communications classes in which he quoted something Pete said, calling him "noted economist, P. Merritt Frank." It's fun to see how Pete has followed through on that initial dream he had way back then, and now really is that man his friend encouraged him to be! (The other friend quoted in the same speech, B. Alan Stewart, I believe, is also now the "noted theologian" he was said to be then! BKB -- you were prophetic.... and a good friend. :) )
