That would be Daffy Duck as Robin Hood, practicing quarterstaff moves (w/ his Buck & a quarter staff) Parry stab Dodge,spin, a HAAaaa! (boink) ooof.....
I was recently contacted via email by Peirce's wife, Janet, of the news, and she has asked me to let Peirce's friends here on Fotki know that he has passed on.
Peirce has been ill for quite awhile now fighting a courageous and exhausting battle with certain illnesses. Now he is out of pain and discomfort and at Peace.
I was blessed last year with two trips to visit Peirce. Once, in May 08 with Susi and another trip in July 08 with Peter Molenaar. Peirce was the dearest of friends both times as he showed us some of his favorite sites... The Danbury Railway Museum and the Southbury Public Library, which Peirce photographed so professionally that his photos were posted in Connecticut Magazine. We were also very fortunate to meet his wife, Janet, each time.
To my knowledge, Janet is not familiar with Fotki and I would suspect that Pierce's Fotki Site will reside as it was left, except for our future visits to enjoy his many albums and years of work. I will contact Fotki Customer Support to that effect, and will myself enjoy participating in and seeing wondrous new and continued commentary on Peirce's Fotki.
Our Prayers and Thoughts are With Janet now and our Beloved and Remembered Friendship with a true Icon... Peirce,,, a good friend to all that knew him... Peace, Brother... you inspired me... and I will sadly miss our mutual kinship...
