(John), brothers in law Al Goodrich (Lavina), Dan Goodrich (Brenda), Harlan

and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Peter graduated from The Ohio State University's 
ROTC program, entered the U.S. Army as a 2nd lieutenant, and eventually 
achieved the rank of major.
 White serving in the U.S. Army, he became a member of the elite Airborne 
Rangers and later went on to serve in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. After 
faithfully serving his country for over 13 years, he embarked on a teaching 
career in which he spent the past six years passionately teaching high school 
history. At Atkinson County High School, he touched the lives of many students
