RPL mourns the passing of JOHN H. PETERS III, who served on our board of trustees for 31 years., as well as of his wife, Laurel, who died shortly after he did.  Mr. Peters' support of the library continued even after he left the board.  Several years ago, for example, he donated one of his famous hand-crafted rocking horses for the library to auction off as a fund-raiser.
