Ivo Peters - Last Years

Last Years

In 1980 Peters was diagnosed with spinal cancer which curtailed activities for the last decade of his life. He died in 1989 and his ashes were scattered at Masbury Summit on the Somerset and Dorset line, whilst there is a street in Bath named after him: this road leads across a formerly-operational railway bridge to Green Park Station, the terminus of his beloved Somerset and Dorset Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    In the years of President Ford
    Decorum and calm were restored.
    He did nothing hateful
    For which we were grateful
    But terribly, terribly bored.
    Anonymous.

    I spend so many times for skating, and I gave up so many hobbies for this ... the Olympics are four years in time. And I am old.
    Ye Qiaobo (b. 1965)
