Peter Will Keep At The Peak

Diane Rehm had a nice show this week focused on Spasmodic Dysphonia - the throat & vocal chord disorder that she suffers from.  (link here).  The medical specialist she had on the show spoke eloquently about the disorder, and the phrase "Peter will keep at the peak" stood out in my mind.  A fast google search brings up a host of Spasmodic Dysphonia website information - Fauquier ENT is one (found here).  I wonder if alot of Fauquiers work there, or if there's just one or two Fauquiers? =)

Reminds me of a engineer I used to work with in the past whose  name was Serge Fauqueaux - pronounced (urban dictionary link here - not work friendly).  When we wanted to get rid of a guy with a dumb question, we'd tell them to "go talk to Serge".
