Early Life


Peter Lerangis was born in Brooklyn, New York during Hurricane Diane, the worst tropical cyclone ever to hit the Northeast (rivalled, his parents claim, by his bedroom floor as a boy ). P erhaps  due to the extremes of air pressure and magnetic forces, Peter showed unusual powers of communication at an early age.
