Peter Joseph Bis
Peter Joseph Bis (c. 1951 - August 16, 2012) was a homeless man in Washington, D.C., known by the Capitol Hill community for his social personality and keen, savant-like memory. His usual daytime location was the corner of Second Street and Massachusetts Avenue Northeast, sitting on a crate under a tree outside an Exxon station by Union Station. According to his brother, James Bis, Bis suffered from schizophrenia. He would greet and converse with passers-by, often offering repetitive, random advice such as “No skinny dipping!” or pointing out the number of days until the weekend. He never drank alcohol or used drugs, but did use cigarettes and drink coffee. He took pride in his neighborhood, spent his days saying hello to the regulars who passed him on the sidewalk, and was provided with food and clothes by the local community. He was even given an apartment at one point, but was eventually evicted because his hoarding tendencies filled up his residence.〔 He would usually sleep in the garage of the Exxon station, and the Exxon workers would let him use a computer in the office.
==Early life==
Little is known about Bis’s childhood or pre-college years. He grew up in Kalamazoo near Western Michigan University, the son of two teachers. According to his younger brother James, Peter Bis attended Monsignor John R. Hackett High School graduating class of 1969, graduated from Western Michigan University in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in history. He went to Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan for a year, then worked as a hotel night clerk, then started a car-painting company. He was unable to stick with these plans, however, and eventually started wandering the country as a result of his developing schizophrenia.〔
