“Raleigh looks like he’s 30 and speaks like he’s 70. He has both vitality and maturity.”
“When Raleigh is up there speaking, I feel like we are dancing together.”
“Obama was an excellent speaker. When you heard Barack Obama speak, you thought, ‘that could be the Commander in Chief,’ says Raleigh Ormerod, a Keene city councilor. ‘Pete has that quality.’”
“Raleigh is an experienced public speaker and emcee. He’s involved with Toastmasters, where he has given many keynote presentations, and he was honored as ‘Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year.’”
“Raleigh saved the show as the Master of Ceremonies at the Holiday Cabaret and Radio Theatre. When a major act cancelled five minutes before they were to perform, Raleigh did an amazing soft shoe.”
“Raleigh runs great speech contests!”
