(Editors Note: The following tells a story by Fred Peterson who was the Marquette city clerk for 17 1/2 years. He said he has been carrying the events of this day with him for 30 years and thought it was time to share them.)
On June 8, 1986, Geneva Peterson, Fred Peterson’s mother, wrote in her diary, “Fred almost got killed.” And now for the rest of the story.
