Some musical greats attended the May 16th PPB luncheon honoring Peter Marshall. Singing icon Jack Jones enjoyed a chat with two PPB members: Noted TV producer (Dean Martin celebrity roasts) Lee Hale, and band leader, arranger and composer Van Alexander. (David Keeler photo) |
Enjoying his first PPB celebrity luncheon since his open heart surgery, PPB Board member "Shotgun" Tom Kelly exchanged stories with dais member Alex Trebek, Board member Jhani Kaye (who produced a fantastic pre-luncheon video about Peter Marshall) and PPB's affable president, Chuck Street.

Where else but a PPB celebrity luncheon could you find such musical luminaries together as this foursome? Enjoying green room comradery prior to the May 16th luncheon for Peter Marshall were PPB members Jerry Sharell, Lee Hale, Ray Charles and Van Alexander. Not only is Peter Marshall an iconic game show host, but an excellent vocalist, as he demonstrated during his acceptance speech after receiving the Gilmore Award. (Don King photo) |
At each PPB celebrity luncheon, Board member Charles Cappleman introduces a table of college/university students studying broadcasting, guests of Ralph Edwards Productions. At the Edwards table at the Peter Marshall luncheon was this group and their faculty adviser from UCLA. PPB table hosts were Tom Hatten, left, and John Clark, center. (David Keeler photo) |
Long-time "Jeopardy" host and PPB member, Alex Trebek had some fascinating stories to tell about honoree Peter Marshall, his good friend of many years. There were no "Double Jeopardy" responses in Trebek's remarks, but lots of good-humored anecdotes. (Don King photo) |
Luncheon dais and PPB member Jo Anne Worley asks: "Who has the better hat -- "Shotgun" Tom Kelly or PPB stalwart Tom Williams?" There was no prize awarded, only lots of laughs from Peter Marshall celebrity luncheon attendees, especially during Jo Anne's parody of "Memory" from "Cats." (David Keeler photo) |
There was a plethora of after luncheon laughter attributed to Peter Marshall's fondly-remembered "Hollywood Squares" series. Peter joined Jack Jones at the mike to relive some of the sharp questions and slightly-off-color responses that were so daring in those earlier TV days.

Our distinguished Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award was gratefully accepted by honoree Peter Marshall at the May 16th celebrity luncheon in his honor at Sportsmen's Lodge. As an added thank you to luncheon attendees, Peter serenaded all with two of his marvelous ballads. At age 88, Peter still has his beautiful singing voice along with his effervescent and engaging personality. Luncheon attendees left having enjoyed a great meal and wonderful entertainment.
