SAN ANTONIO — The Self-Service & Kiosk Association inducted St. Clair Interactive president Doug Peter into its Hall of Fame Friday morning at The Self-Service & Kiosk Show. Peter’s firm, a leader in kiosk software development, has operated for more than 20 years.

Association president Alex Richardson presented the award while lauding Peter’s efforts. Peter’s peers shared Richardson’s sentiments. Corporate Safe Specialists president and CEO Ed McGunn complimented Peter’s efforts to spread industry education.

"Doug has been a source of real life experience with his work at Giant Eagle," McGunn said. "I know he has given his time and energy to give his viewpoints to (SSKA) members. He definitely is somebody that is always available to give information on the growing kiosk industry."

As Richardson announced the award during a breakfast presentation, association members and show attendees burst into applause. One of the only people who remained silent during the announcement was Peter himself who nodded once with eyes closed, rose from his table, accepted his award at the podium, gave a brief thanks, and resumed his seat.

His son and marketing director, Chris Peter, congratulated his dad.

"We are elated to hear that Doug has been recognized by his peers for such a prestigious award," Chris said. "After decades of dedication and service to the kiosk industry, many of the principles he has been pursuing and promoting have been accepted industry wide."
