Peter voted for Dave for Lakewood Elementary Student Body President, swayed by Dave's promises of adding vending machines to the cafeteria. When Dave failed to deliver, it soured Peter forever on politics.
Dave and Peter met for real on the middle school swim team, where 7th-grade Peter idolized 8th-grade Dave's quest for the school record in the 100 Fly. Peter then followed Dave onto the high school swim team and into Latin and AP English and Debate, where they partnered up with a genius proposal to start high school two hours later (and totally would have won the Greenhorn Tournament except for the incompetency of a certain judge).
When Dave married his lovely wife Lauren in 2010, Dave honored Peter by asking him to be best man. Dave currently teaches high school north of Detroit.
