Talk:Ray Peterson

I first met Ray Peterson in Sacramento in the mid-60s. Sacramento was one of Ray's favorite performing locations because for a while there he was able to pack out the local Memorial Auditorium in the shows produced by Fred Vail. He performed with a number of other popular singers as well, including Keith Allison and George Romero. He was also involved in the Mather AFB Celebrity Golf Tournament in 1967, which featured Jimmy Rodgers and Fred MacMurray among others. The last time I saw him he was doing country'n'western songs at a place called The Roadhouse outside Sacramento. This was when he was still living in southern California. He was the naming recipient of The Ray Peterson Humanitarian Aware which was presented to him in Reno Nevada by H.M.S. Productions. The only other recipient of the award was Tommy Roe (of Sheila fame)
