WHOEVER SAID THAT RETIREMENT IS A TIME TO RELAX?
Joe and Bette Peterson, long standing members of CCU, have been entertaining Coloradoans for over 16 years. Bette retired in 1995 from Johns Manville after 16 years with their Advertising, Marketing and Health & Safety Departments. Following retirement, Bette continued her services with various ministries at Light of The World Catholic Church. Bette and Joe met through the church's Singles Ministry.
"We enjoyed a long courtship, got married, and before long, I was totally engrossed in promoting the band", said Bette Peterson, President of TalentNet, Inc. "Musicians just like to perform and play music. I love taking care of details. Although I don't play in the band, I am definitely a committed and involved member of the team. It's a great match", said Bette.
