"In times like these we still had time to laugh - the will to survive always sets in." Peter also overheard his father speaking with a disheartened man, who had moved to St. Thomas with his family from Pennsylvania. He had wandered over from the wealthier area of the island carry­ ing a bottle of rum. ''His $500,000 house had been destroyed in the storm, and his wife had left him earlier that morn­ ing." Peter says. "The next day, the man killed himself among what was left of his home." Peter says an overwhelming amount of people, including his football team, left the islands immediately for the States because they didn't want to deal with rebuilding.
