“I’ll be working really hard. I’m really pleased with the results, but I know I still have to work really hard.
“I’m just going to get out more, not that I haven’t before. As I’ve said before I love the job.”
Petersen is owner of Necessities and Temptations gift shop on the Port Angeles waterfront.
