Women Who Built Tucson: Celebrating Cele Peterson’s Legacy for Women’s History Month

A Tucson Icon Beyond Fashion

• Cele Peterson is widely recognized for her successful fashion empire, but her true legacy extends far beyond clothing.
• She played a pivotal role in shaping Tucson’s cultural, social, and political landscape, using her influence to bring real change to the community.

A Conversation with Dan Buckley

• Tucson journalist, historian, and filmmaker Dan Buckley shares his personal stories and interviews with Cele Peterson.
• Buckley spent every Wednesday with Cele until the day before she passed—a bond that gave him rare insight into her life.
• He describes Cele as a force of nature—someone who had the right connections, the right ideas, and the relentless energy to make things happen.

Cele’s Influence on Tucson’s Institutions

• Children’s Museum Tucson – Cele was instrumental in making this project a reality.
• Women’s Shelters – After Linda Ronstadt donated $1 million, Cele took charge, found the land, navigated the legal hurdles, and had the shelter up and running in less than a year.
• University of Arizona & Local Politics – She regularly walked into the mayor’s office with a list of things that needed to be fixed in Tucson—and they listened!

Cele’s 100th Birthday Celebration – A Historic Tucson Event

• A massive celebration attended by Tucson’s most influential leaders, including Linda Ronstadt, Gabby Giffords, and Chuck Bowden.
• Gabby Giffords presented Cele with a leather-bound collection of her historical translations from the Library of Congress, honoring her early work in preserving Arizona history.
• Cele, even at 100, continued running her business and advocating for Tucson’s progress.

The Woman Behind the Legend

• Sharp, witty, and endlessly charming, Cele had a way of getting people to say “yes” to her ideas.
• She once carried a pistol hidden in her fur muff on a buying trip to New York in the 1930s, showing that she was both elegant and fearless.
• Cele made a bet with her future husband that she could keep a high-end fashion store open during the Great Depression—and she won.
• Her radio show, “Star of the Day,” highlighted ordinary Tucsonans doing extraordinary things, a testament to her belief in community storytelling.

Why You Need to Listen

This episode is a deep dive into the life of a woman who didn’t just witness Tucson’s history—she made it. If you love Tucson, you owe it to yourself to know Cele Peterson’s story.

When you hear the name Cele Peterson, what comes to mind? Some might remember the elegant storefronts of her celebrated fashion business, where she dressed generations of Tucsonans with style and grace. Others recall her as a powerful advocate for Tucson’s arts, education, and community institutions, a woman who didn’t just dream big but made those dreams a reality.

Cele Peterson was more than a fashion icon—she was a driving force behind some of the most important civic and cultural advancements in Tucson’s history. From pioneering downtown revitalization to advocating for the creation of the Children’s Museum Tucson, Cele’s fingerprints are all over the city we know and love today.

Her impact is why, in honor of Women’s History Month, Life Along the Streetcar is dedicating this episode to celebrating Cele Peterson’s extraordinary legacy.

A Conversation with Dan Buckley: A Window Into Cele’s World

To truly understand Cele’s impact, we turn to Dan Buckley, a Tucson journalist, filmmaker, and historian who had the rare privilege of interviewing Cele before her passing in 2010. Buckley’s firsthand experiences and rich storytelling bring Cele’s life into vivid focus, showing us the depth of her influence, her unshakable spirit, and her determination to make Tucson better for everyone.

Buckley’s connection with Cele stretched across decades. He first encountered her in the 1970s, when she was already a well-known and formidable figure in Tucson’s social and political circles. But it wasn’t until her 100th birthday celebration—a legendary event attended by Tucson’s most influential leaders—that Buckley truly understood the enormity of her legacy.

A Force to Be Reckoned With

Cele Peterson was not someone who sat on the sidelines. She inserted herself into Tucson’s biggest conversations and made things happen.

• When a cause needed a champion, Cele was there.
• When an idea needed funding, Cele found the money.
• When Tucson needed a fearless voice in the mayor’s office, Cele walked right in and demanded action.

From women’s shelters to historic preservation projects, from the arts to economic development, Cele’s fingerprints are everywhere. As Dan Buckley shares in this episode, Cele’s legacy is more than just a memory—it’s a living, breathing force that continues to shape Tucson today.

A Life of Bold Moves and Bigger Achievements

Born in Bisbee, Arizona, Cele grew up in a world where opportunity for women was limited, but that never stopped her. She graduated high school at just 14 years old, and by the time she reached adulthood, she was already proving that she belonged at the table where big decisions were made.

Before she became Tucson’s fashion matriarch, Cele worked in Washington, D.C., where she translated historical Arizona documents for the Library of Congress. Her knowledge of the past fueled her passion for shaping the future—particularly Tucson’s.

Dan Buckley recalls Cele’s legendary work ethic and relentless energy, sharing stories of how she continued running her business and advocating for Tucson well into her 100s. Even at an age when most people have long retired, Cele showed up every day, met with city leaders, and pushed for progress.

The Woman Behind the Legacy

Beyond the powerful community leader, Cele was also hilarious, fiercely independent, and full of life.

• She once walked into a New York showroom with a pistol hidden in her fur muff while on a fashion buying trip in the 1930s.
• She made a bet with her future husband, Tom Peterson, that she could open and sustain a high-end clothing store during the Great Depression—and she won.
• She had a daily radio show called “Star of the Day”, where she showcased ordinary Tucsonans doing extraordinary things.
• She turned Linda Ronstadt’s $1 million donation into Tucson’s first battered women’s shelter, finding the land, cutting the red tape, and ensuring it opened within a year.

Cele wasn’t just talking about change—she was making it happen.

Tom Heath
Good morning. It’s a beautiful Sunday in the Old Pueblo. And you’re listening to Katy. Tucson. Thank you for spending a part of your brunch hour with us on your downtown Tucson community. Sponsored, all volunteer powered rock and roll radio station. This week, we’re going to kick off Women’s History Month by revisiting a 2023 interview we did about the iconic Seal Peterson.

Tom Heath
She was a true fashion trailblazer, but seal’s influence extend far beyond style. Her dedication to Tucson has left a lasting legacy. And our guest is Daniel Buckley, who had the privilege of interviewing her before her passing in 2010. Since then, he’s continued to share stories of her remarkable life and impact on our community. Today is March 9th, 2025.

Tom Heath
My name is Tom Heath and you’re listening to life Along the Street car each and every Sunday. Our focus is on social, cultural and economic impacts in Tucson’s urban core, and we shed light on hidden gems everyone should know about. From a man to the University of Arizona and all stops in between. You get the inside track right here on 99.1 FM streaming at Downtown radio.org.

And if you want more information about our show or book past episodes, or just to contact us, you can head over to our website, which is life Along the Street car.org.

Tom Heath
And of course that you don’t happen to hear us on Sunday. Shame on you. But I understand maybe you’re out about. But the podcast is available on all kinds of platforms too, and if you head over to our web page or YouTube or start to do some of those videos because apparently people like to watch two people talking on the radio.

Tom Heath
This one won’t have a I won’t have a video because we’re, we’re going to be talking about an interview we actually did in 2023 about, CEO Peterson. And we’re rolling here to Women’s History Month. Thought we would, share. You know, you’ve had that. We’ve had the the the pleasure on this show of talking about and interviewing with and interviewing about some of these extremely powerful women who have shaped Tucson.

Tom Heath
And we are extremely, blessed with, with a tremendous, lineage of of female influencers going back, decades, centuries, even, that have made Tucson what it is kind of interesting, just kind of going through. We could have talked about Monica Flynn and her niece, Carlotta Flores. We could have talked about the, Louise Foukara. Marshall. There are so many others that, that we could share and their stories that we haven’t shared yet that I’m still doing some research on.

Tom Heath
And I look forward to bringing to you. But, today we’re going to talk about Seal Peterson is she was someone who her her passing was while I was in Tucson. I’d moved here in 1993. She passed in 2010. I didn’t start really exploring Tucson until 2015. And the show didn’t start until 2017. But but had I just been ten years earlier, I would have hopefully had a chance to speak with her.

Tom Heath
Because she is someone that I always knew as a shop owner address maker, someone who was in the clothing and fashion industry. And when I started researching her for the show and and talking to our guest, Daniel Buckley, who interviewed her, before she passed in 2010, I just got a completely different picture of an incredibly powerful and strong woman who made things happen in Tucson and whose legacy.

Tom Heath
Now there’s things, you know, children’s Museum and others, things that we have here in Tucson that are a direct result of her passion and energy and her ability to make things come to fruition. It wasn’t just, really good ideas. It was the, the right connections, the right people, the right, the right pressure to bring, to bring to bear, getting these things accomplished.

Tom Heath
So we’re doing today as we actually interviewed, Dan Buckley back in 2023. So it’s been a couple of years. We thought, you know what? We should we should bring this back. And as I mentioned, Dan’s Dan’s role in this as he is a fantastic storyteller. His story is actually very interesting. He himself is a someone who has made Tucson a very special place.

Tom Heath
But today we’re really going to focus on, on his connection with Seal Peterson and her and her legacy. So it’s going to be a two part episode. So we’re going to start today with part one, and then next Sunday we’ll wrap it up. So you’re going to get two weeks here of Seal Peterson. So I reached out to Facebook World and I said, hey, I want to do a show on Seal Peterson and who should I talk to?

Tom Heath
And I got multiple people that said, you should talk to Dan Buckley. And so I reached out to Dan Buckley and have you on the on the show now. And I’m not I’m not going to go too far into your introduction, because we would take about 30 minutes just to go through everything you’ve accomplished. But you, you know, you’re, you’ve got, you know, art background, a film background.

Tom Heath
You’re working on a film right now about, the mariachi miracle. How does all of this lead people to say, you’ve got to talk to to Dan about Seal Peterson?

Dan Buckley
Well, you know, seal and I kind of, orbited around one another for a long time before we actually started having really concrete conversations. In fact, she was 101 years old before we really started getting into it. Geek. But our our first interactions came in the 70s when I was working for a record store in Elle.com, when Alcan was the only mall in the city, and seal had a store there, and I had dated a woman who had worked for seal.

Dan Buckley
I had good friends that were working for her. I’m sure she cursed me out under her breath as she passed my store on the way to the bank every day, because the guys that worked in my store were always playing the music way, way, way too loud. But, you know, we had minor interactions then I knew who she was and that sort of thing.

Dan Buckley
I did not realize again, the scope of who this woman was until later on. And then in the mid 80s, 1987, actually, I started working for the Tucson Citizen, after working for the weekly for a while, as, music writer. And of course, I would run into Ceil and her daughter Katya at the symphony and the opera and, and then as I was getting into more historic things about Tucson, I would run into her everywhere, you know, any time anything was happening when they, you know, dedicated the Presidio downtown, there was c01, you know, anything of any importance was going down politically.

Dan Buckley
If there was something that, you know, really put important things in the balance, you could always count on the fact that Ceil was going to be there and she was going to speak about it. And so we kind of knew each other, you know, casually through that. And then, her 100th birthday came up and, the citizen asked me to interview her.

Dan Buckley
Well, I want to tell you, that was one hell of an interview. It was so much fun. She was practically blind as a bat. We held the interview in her shop where she held court still three days a week at 100 years old. Damn this woman. I mean, just unbelievable energy and a desire to do things. She held my hand through the whole thing.

Dan Buckley
I had a camera shooting over my shoulder. She would lean into me and go completely out of frame, and there was no way for me to know it. And, But the sound was good, so who cared? You know, we just threw in old pictures of her, and, man, she was a knockout when she was a young lady.

Dan Buckley
And she told me these epic stories of her life, of growing up in Bisbee of, when she was, when she was a very little girl. Her, her they went to visit her aunt up in San Francisco and, the aunt had just bought a new sewing machine. And she said to her, now, Cecilia, don’t you dare touch this sewing machine.

Dan Buckley
And of course, the first thing she did when she walked out of the room was over and put her finger on the sewing machine, and an earthquake aftershock hit. And she was absolutely certain that she had caused that. And, you know, it’s hilarious, you know, but this is the pattern of things that went on. And she was like.

Tom Heath
I had oh, I moved to Tucson in the 90s, like 93. And then of course, you know, Seal Peterson stores were around and I knew the name. And, you know, she passed away at 2010. I think. And yeah, it wasn’t until I really started getting involved with downtown that I really understood what you said, that she was involved with Everything Children’s Museum.

Tom Heath
You know, she was on a numerous boards. Was the University of Arizona, you know, you know, the mayor says she’s just pretty much walks in my office whenever she needs, you know, she sees a problem and tells me to fix it. And I and I thought, how does this how does this happen from, you know, from a fashion icon and, you know, just started reading these stories and just completely I mean, I don’t I mean, it’s almost superhuman, the strength and, amount of time that she was able to get things done in a day.

Dan Buckley
It is true. She had a charm about her. She was just charming and lovely to everyone. And I remember, Linda Ronstadt, found out that one of her relatives was being beaten up by a spouse and asked her why she didn’t leave him, and she said, well, I’d have to leave my kids. And so Linda ponied up $1 million out of her own pocket to build a battered women’s shelter.

Dan Buckley
You know, for women where they could bring their kids with them. And it was seal who made it happen. And, you know, seal found the property. Seal got everything going. And, I mean, inside of a year, that thing was built and occupied and that is so typically seal.

Tom Heath
That was the voice of Dan Buckley. He was he had in his own way, has been a very iconic Tucson. And, but today we’re talking about his interview and his conversations that he had with Seal Peterson, who passed away in 2010. We actually recorded this interview, a couple of years ago with, Dan and wanted to, to replay it.

Tom Heath
It’s been been a while, and even though it’s great to have all this new content coming out sometimes, we’ve had such great interviews about people and with people that it just we got to bring them back. And this was a timeless interview. So, before we get into the second part of it, though, I want to remind you that you’re listening to life Along the Street car on Downtown Radio at 8.1 FM, and we’re available for streaming on downtown radio.org.

But if you’re just joining us today, we’re to be kicking off our celebration of Women’s History Month by going back to an interview we did in 2023 about Seal Peterson.

Tom Heath
We have Dan Buckley, who, has his own storied career here in Tucson and spent some time interviewing seal before her passing in 2010. And, today is is part one of a two part series on, Seal Peterson. So we’re going to kind of finish up the first half of this, segment here now. And, and then next week, you’ll be able to get to the conclusion of our interview with Dan Buckley, a talking about Seal Peterson.

Dan Buckley
Well, I have to tell you about the 100 birthday party, because I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. She they had it at one of her friend’s house, and there was a line that wrapped not only around the house, but down the block and around the block. And this line included dignitaries, you know, government officials, former mayors, former council people, current council people, people in state government people and federal government, as well as nobody, whose path she had crossed or who she had on her show.

Dan Buckley
Star of the day. She had a radio show here in the town, I don’t know, star.

Tom Heath
Yeah. Star of the day. Okay.

Dan Buckley
Star of the day. And she would interview ordinary people that she found out about who were doing interesting things. And, and how that came about was she got pissed off at whoever the publisher was. And I don’t know whether it was the star of the citizen, but, you know, she was not happy about how they were trading her ads.

Dan Buckley
And, he basically said to her, well, you know, that’s just top take it or leave it. And she said, I’m leaving. And, she started her own radio show, and she had that show for decades. And, you know, and it was a daily show was, you know, like a Monday to Friday show. Oh my goodness.

Dan Buckley
You know, a short show like 20 minutes a day or something like that. But she did that for for decades. Really extraordinary. So anyway, getting back to this crowd that was was wrapped around the building. I remember Lalo Guerrero’s son Dan singing his song Barrio Viejo Tour during his two minutes in front of her. And I remember Chuck Bowden, the writer, brought her, you know, his latest book, and he said to her, I don’t know what you’re going to do with this sale.

Dan Buckley
You can maybe smack people over the head with this. You know, he was hilarious. Linda Ronstadt sang at her hundredth birthday party, Gabby Giffords showed up. And one of the things that people don’t know about seal is, Well, she graduated high school when she was 14, lived in Bisbee and went to the movie. And then her mother found out she was dating 21, 22 year old guys.

Dan Buckley
And so the how would that hold her out of the bay and send her to an all girls school on the East Coast in Virginia, close to Washington, D.C.? Well, all of her friends were working on Capitol Hill. And so she’ll, went and talked to Senator Carl Hayden and asked him for a job. And you said, can you translate, you know, Spanish into English?

Dan Buckley
And she said, well, I can try it. And so she spent a number of years, working for the Library of Congress translating historic documents from Arizona’s early history from Spanish into English. Well, on her 100th birthday, Gabby Giffords collected everything that she had translated so had it leather bound and presented it to her.

Tom Heath
Fabulous.

Dan Buckley
It was unbelievable. And, you know, so I wrote this piece in The Citizen about her, and she told me these stories, you know, that were just so hilarious. The the story that I just told you a second ago about her, you know, feeling like she had caused an earthquake in San Francisco was one of many really hilarious stories.

Dan Buckley
And, about a year later. Yeah, as I say, she was 101 years old at this point. She calls, actually, she she had her niece or her granddaughter, contacted me on Facebook and passed along her phone number. And I was just told she’ll would like to talk to you. And so I called seal, and she says, right, well, dad, I’m writing a book and I want to be funny, and you’re funny.

Dan Buckley
So will you help me write the book? Well, I didn’t have to do it. I mean, you know, she was hilarious. Her stories were wonderful. And they were charming, and. And the book was to be titled, Undressed women. Memories of the Fashion industry. And my favorite, favorite story was of her when she how she started the clothing business in the middle of the depression, a high end clothing business was she made a bet with a guy in Virginia that she could do it and keep the business open for a year.

Dan Buckley
Well, the guy she bet was Todd Peterson, the guy that she ended up marrying. He had the wisdom after she did it to move to to start on a barrier. And, you know, I never met, I’m really sorry. I know that he was fascinating in and of himself. You know, just to have that wisdom, to realize this is the girl.

Dan Buckley
Well, anyway, she told me the story about first buying trips she did to New York City. And it was the middle of winter. She. What were the girlfriend? She had a partner in the business. Originally. It wasn’t called Jewel Petersons. It was called the College shop. And so they hopped on a train. And, you know, we’re in the middle of winter.

Dan Buckley
They went back. Well, you know, it’s cold back there. And she, you know, was wearing a fur coat and she had a fur muff, one of those hand warmers, you know, things that looks like a beanie. Mink stole. And, she brought a little pistol along with her, in case, you know, they’re two young women traveling by themselves.

Dan Buckley
Who knows what’s going on.

Tom Heath
And it’s like, this is like 1930s.

Dan Buckley
Yes, yes, it’s the early 1930s. And so she gets to New York and she finds out at the hotel that jail illegal to have a gun. So she, you know, doesn’t want to leave it the hotel and have the maid catcher and turn her in. So she just brings it with her as she, you know, goes out to do, you know, the buying.

Dan Buckley
And she goes into this one place and the guy there is like, every guy in the world. Oh, little lady, you’re from the Wild West. Can you ride a horse? Yes, I can ride a horse. Can you shoot a gun? She pulls it out of the buff and she says, if I have to, and puts it back in and and comedic timing like you’ve never heard.

Dan Buckley
She waits the perfect beat. She said strings had the best service from most people. From there, forward. She was. Oh, she was just so charming. I spent every Wednesday with her from the the Wednesday after she and I talked on the phone until the day before she died. And that day she was in a coma, at her daughter’s house.

Dan Buckley
And I went over and just hung out with her, talked to her, and then the next day she was gone. And that was a sad day for me because I really felt like I had I had lost a good friend. And, and those stories are, are just so good.

Tom Heath
I had the voice of Dan Buckley. And if it sounds like me, maybe we let you go here in the middle of a story. Well, we did, but it’s all part of a plan. We’re doing a two part series on Seal. Peterson, going back to an interview we did back, with, with, Dan Buckley back in 2023.

Tom Heath
And so we’ll have the second half of that interview, which will complete our two part series next Sunday. And hope you, join us for that. But right now, I want to remind you that you’re listening to life on the Street car in Downtown radio 99.1 FM, and we’re streaming on Downtown radio.org.

Speaker 4
Support for downtown radio is provided by the Tucson Gallery, located in downtown Tucson. Instead of the proper shops at Barrett East Congress Street, the Tucson Gallery offers original work, reproductions, and merchandise from Tucson artists like Joe Padgett, Jessica Gonzalez, Ignacio Garcia, and many more. For information about other artists, including when they open up at the gallery, head to the Tucson gallery.com or find them on Instagram and Facebook as Tucson Gallery.

Tom Heath
Radio Club Crawl, another one of those fabulous shows you get on downtown radio with the J. Brother Mark there. Again, another volunteer. If you want to check out the whole lineup, we recommend you do that over on our website, downtown radio.org. There are all kinds of shows and we keep adding new ones, these new, DJ shows.

Tom Heath
It’s just so impressed with all of the talent we have here and thinking we’ve exhausted all the musical talent in Tucson. And then here comes another batch who’s ready to put some music out. And I tell you, I listen to the new shows because there’s sometimes music like this on the show. There’s like house music and surf music, things that, that I didn’t think I would really enjoy.

Tom Heath
And I don’t know that I would have enjoyed it if I hadn’t gotten that curated experience from, a local volunteer who not only played the music, but explained the music, talked about its history, talked about its roots and its connections. And, you know, those things are important to me as a storyteller. I like to know the story.

Tom Heath
And our DJs do a great job of explaining their passion, their music. So if you’re trying to expand your horizons, no better place to do it, in my opinion. The downtown radio and you can get a whole lineup on downtown radio.org. You’re going to see some old favorites, things that you know you love. Listen to them. But, challenge yourself.

Tom Heath
You know, find a find a show you’ve never, never heard of or a style of music you don’t know anything about or something maybe you didn’t even like. And give it a try. Give it a couple listens a couple of weeks and, yeah, I think the the music will win you over. And if not the fabulous personalities and, commentary of our deejays might just do that too.

Tom Heath
So we’re very fortunate here. What is the, the ninth of, March shares were, as are airing this on downtown radio. Of course, the podcast will come after, but if you’re listening to it right around that time frame and you want to support your community, you can still do so by heading over to the Tucson Festival of books.org that’s coming up, here in, just a few days.

Tom Heath
And I think there’s still some slots open for volunteers that did a really good job of filling the volunteer slots. Over 2000 of them. I think this year. But you might be able to help out for, you know, a shift on Saturday or Sunday for a few hours, get a cool t shirt and support the community. And heck, if they’re full, then that’s even better because then you can just show up.

Tom Heath
Support some of the authors and exhibitors who come from all over to, to make this festival so special. And, you know, it’s free. We’ve we’ve had them on the show multiple times, talking about their impact on the community and literacy efforts. And you can, you know, check all that out on, on our web page there.

Tom Heath
Life on the street car.org is Tucson Festival books in the search bar and listen to a past episode or so episode or so. Yeah. That’s right. And then if there’s things you want us to cover, you know, we always talk about this being a hyper local show. If you’re if you’re in Tucson, we go from a mountain eatery series on.

Tom Heath
It’s like three miles. So we’ve done that intentionally. We want to keep our footprint really close to that urban core, and we use the street cars our as our sort of guideline, our geography. And most of our stories are going to fall within about a quarter to maybe as far away as a mile of, of a streetcar stop or the streetcar tracks.

Tom Heath
So we try to really focus in on those happenings, but that gives us the West Side, downtown, Fourth Avenue, Main Gate, the University of Arizona, all those places. And there’s others too. And occasionally we do a road trip and get a little outside of our box, like we did with the Light Science Museum. That was a fun one.

Tom Heath
But if there’s something you want us to cover, you know, tell us that’s the only way we’re going to know. We get we’re getting more and more recommendations, which is awesome. And Amanda and mulattos, we’ve we’ve talked about her. She’s our production assistant. She is now taking on a larger role and will be helping to schedule some of these interviews because part of the reason why I haven’t gotten to them is we’re at a time I don’t have time to reach out.

Tom Heath
So she is going to step in and start scheduling these. So we’re going to get more and more content out there. And James, of course, making them look and sound great on the interweb. But you know, hit us up Facebook Instagram or contact that lifelong the street car talk but don’t go anywhere Ted keywords and work will be kicking off in just a moment.

Tom Heath
Thanks to James Portis, our production specialist. The aforementioned Amanda mulattos, their assistant. Thank you for Ryan Hood opening music. And today we’re going to leave you with John Bennett from a 2016 album. And although she was much more than this, this is an honor seal. Peterson. It’s called the Dressmaker. I hope you have a great week and tune in next Sunday for more life along the streetcar.
