Faculty Spotlight: Peter Grimmett

Here is Peter Grimmett with three of his four children, David (far left), Abigail (centre right) and Deborah (far right), after they had just played two games of beach soccer at Spanish Banks on a wet weekend in August 2010.  David, his second son (far left), had organized the Caffe Umbria team and seconded his Dad to play at the last minute when they were short. Abigail (centre right) still plays senior women’s soccer and Deborah (far right) no longer plays competitively to concentrate on her blossoming career as a pianist. Peter decided to skip the third game (he was shattered) which led to a lot of family banter. His children claimed he could no longer hack the pace. He counterclaimed that it was his soccer experience and positioning sense that had kept the team from losing. Peter lost the argument!
