	The Lyric producer mentioned above did confirm that Lyric used as models some boys who also worked as call boys. The highly unreliable Robin Lloyd affirms that a "Peter, a thirteen-year-old and one of Byars's favorites, still commands a high price in the chicken market" (Lloyd, Robin, ''For Money or Love: Boy Prostitution in America'', Ballantine Books, NY, 1976, p. 79). On the same page he affirms that ''The Genesis Children'' includes a Hawaiian boy named Guy Sommers, which can be disproved by consulting IMDB or the picture on the cover of the VHS tape.

	That incident involved a boy who was 15 in 1969, and “another boy”, and again the source is unreliable, in this case the same man who circulated the tale of Hoover dressing up in drag. There is simply no evidence that Mr. Glawson did any more in front of Lyric’s cameras than take off his clothes. Nor is there reason to believe that anyone else ever did. While there were young men known to Lyric that did engage in sex for pay, there is no reason to believe that Mr. Glawson was among them, and those who seem to know him declare that he was not.

	Mr. Glawson is most easily dated by his appearance in ''The Genesis Children''. Released in August 1972, the movie must have been filmed at least a year earlier, presumably during the summer of 1971. In that movie Peter is an adolescent, while in the short film ''Swim Party'', filmed before the fall of Lyric in 1973, he is clearly a young man.

In that movie Peter is an adolescent, while in the short film ''Swim Party'', filmed before the fall of Lyric in 1973, he is clearly a young man.

	An "incomplete and unofficial" biography of Peter was posted on Usenet in January 1999 by Boyhowdy [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.svens/msg/01f24ba9e68f2618], who that same month posted a series of published photos of Peter, along with commentary which survives on Google Groups. He states that Mr. Glawson was "born in the mid-1950s (probably 1955 or 56)." That would make him 15 or 16 in ''The Genesis Children'', and 17 or 18 in the last Lyric films.

	Boyhowdy goes on to say that Peter "spent his early years in Texas with his older brother, Rick and younger half-brother, Maxey". [[Billy Byars, Jr.]], who founded Lyric, was raised in Tyler, Texas, and a Lyric film shot in Texas, ''Sandy Hill'', features a younger Peter. Another Lyric film, ''Summer Freedom'', shot on Padre Island National Seashore in Texas, may also include Peter. The same Usenet post also says that, "the earliest published photos of Peter that we know of are the ones of him and Maxey and Billy Marshall and the other boys on the Gulf Coast of Texas (playing along the beach). Peter is 12 in these photos."		Boyhowdy goes on to say that Peter "spent his early years in Texas with his older brother, Rick and younger half-brother, Maxey".

	We do know for a fact that he is still alive, and in fact was the benefactor of Harlan 'Slim' Pfeiffer's estate, including (sources say) having acquired most all of Slim's collection of negatives and photos from the Lyric days. It is also reported that he bought up, or otherwise acquired, the rights to all the nudist stuff, including the films, most of it which was owned by Falcon Studios, and the remainder by a couple of photographers. It is our understanding that Peter is still in contact with the Dom and they remain friends.

	Peter Glawson has made some appearances as an adult, including on some cable TV talk show a few years ago. He apparently is unwilling to say much about his childhood stardom or give out information about any of the other boys, possibly to protect their privacy. He did acknowledge his acquisition of the original photos and indicated that The Genesis Children as well as videos of the home movies were to be re-released, which has in fact happened.
