Wishing Peter a speedy return trip to the announcer’s booth.
Get well soon Pete,masters track isn’t the same w/out you calling the races
Peter, I hope that you have a speedy recovery to ANY booth. We’ll Stop, Look, and LISTEN(of course). Smartty
Pete, I wish you a very speedy recovery. Can I have the next dance!!
Best regards
Best wishes for a very speedy recovery!
Peter, Prayers for you to have a speedy recovery…Sully
All of us wishing you well Peter. Recover soon.
I hope that you recover quickly Peter, and that the pain rapidly subsides. If every master athlete that you have taken the trouble to research has you in their thoughts, you will be better in no time at all.
Pete I’m praying that you recover “with complete authority!” The championships I’ve won-you were not there. So though I was elated-it was not the same! Hoping to see you in Raleigh and then in Sacto.
Pete, here’s to a speedy recovery! Get Well Soon.
Pete, we wish you a speedy recovery and complete return to perfect health. Masters track and field owes a lot to you and I can’t imagine anyone ever taking your place on the microphone.
p.s. If you ever need another surgery, I will do ANY surgery for $29.95 and all I use is a monkey wrench and a butter knife. But since you are a friend, I will also use a nice bottle of alcohol. (to sterilize the monkey wrench.)
Good luck in your recovery, Peter! We look forward soon to having your voice right there with us when it comes time to kick down the stretch, or when we need to pull out all the stops for one last throw or jump!
Pete, all the best for a speedy and without complications recovery. From the luckiest man in Georgia.

Pete, get well soon. I can’t imagine participating in a big meet without hearing “The Voice of Masters Track and Field”.

11:31 AM Friday (EST): Thanks to all who have publicly or privately wished me well.* Had considerable pain Wednesday night but am doing pretty nicely now. Am 99% sure of making Albuquerque (regular entries are due Monday, February 7).
Peter T.
* Special thanks to the athlete who sent me a very nice plant by United Parcel Service.
Peter, Best wishes and get well soon.
Wishing all the best for you (doctors, nurses, rehab, etc).
Look forward to seeing & hearing you at the track soon.
Our prayers have been answered.
Peter taylor is 99% sure of making Albuquerque
Hi, Peter.
What a wonderful outpouring of good wishes and tributes you are getting from all quarters! I think with so many warm accolades and sincere good wishes, your recovery before the Indoor Nationals in Albuquerque is virtually assured.
Well peter getting well is all of our best wishes for you,my special prayers for recovery and good health.dave ashford
Great to hear your recovering well. Take it slow big guy. Your worth the wait.
You are a good man, Peter Taylor. I can beat Nolan’s prices. I will do ANY surgreyr for $19.95 and even have a sterilized medical kit left over from pre-medical school back in the early 90’s. You’ll be back soon and I just have to recalibrate your 5K time on the treadmill. . .I think it will be faster, but smooth as ever. Tom
Sir Peter Taylor, from the San Diego Sprint Crew Our prayers go out to you for a healthy recovery.
OK. $17.50 my final offer. But bring your own butter knife.
Sorry Pedro, this one is for Nolan, can’t find his e-mail in my contacts.
We agreed to do anything possible for FREE, so let’s stick to it!
See both of you in Albu. Hopefully, the pain is gone, and you are up and about. (Pete)
Christel
Go Pete! Can’t wait to hear your voice again at the track and your passionate insights on this website. Get well soon!
Get well Pete! We’re all relieved to hear you are recovering. And, as you can see from the comments, we are all pleased that you will be with us in NM!
Add my voice to all above for a speedy recovery. Your announcing is one of those extra special features that makes it fun to compete at the national level. You’re a rare gem, Pete!
Take care Pete. Looks like you’re on your way to a speedy recovery.
Pete! I’m thinking healing thoughts for you!
Wishing you well Pete! Oh, and if you need, I can double duty as your very own Private Duty Nurse in New Mexico…and I’ll even do it for FREE!!!!! рџ™‚
Well, Ruthlynn (or do you prefer to be called Ruthie?), I guess I had better respond to that offer. Nolan Shaheed and Tom Hartshorne both offered cut-rate surgical services (above), but I can’t think of any physician who would recommend those two gentlemen. In fact, when it comes to surgery I think they are charlatans at best.
You, on the other hand, I can trust. Thus, because I am still suffering a bit of pain from time to time I will take you up on your offer. I am staying in the hotel that is connected to the track (I think it’s the Doubletree). I will call you on the PA system on Friday or Saturday if I still need any kind of care (I know you will be able to do what is best for a post-surgical patient).
Shaheed and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Hartshorne, are wonderful runners, but watch out when they hold a knife and call it a surgical instrument.
PT
my prayers for a speedy and complete recovery…best wishes …! albert
Geez, Peter, I didn’t know you had surgery until I talked to Tom Hartshorne today. Sure hope you are healing quickly and feeling better. Before long you will be back on the dance floor showing off your new moves!
ERH
Glad to know Peter is doing good. My husband, Peter’s brother Tim Taylor, misses him, talks about him a lot, and wishes there is a way to get in touch. His nephews, N. and K., would like to meet him sometimes!
