In 1997, Peter von Ziegesar, a freelance writer living in New York, called me. Peter began by asking if I remember the day we went to pick-up his stepbrother at who was in prep school at the time. I said, yes I do.

"Well, that same boy has been living on the streets for years now and I have started getting involved in trying to help him."  

Peter went on toexplain
  • April 1998-Off the streets of Bayside-Miami, I sit with Peter in my hotel room waiting for his brother to arrive from New York. Peter was glad to be off the dangerous streets of the Bayside section of Miami.
  • Peter the elder arrives from New York, I photograph the brothers on South Beach an hour later.
    • July,1998, Leadville, Colorado-After I bailed Peter out of the Lake County jail in Leadville, Peter takes me to see his old cabin located in the old mining area east of town.
