Message from Eddie Union -- To all concerned.
I'm letting you know that we lost a member of the Volumes. Our group member and brother, Robert Peterson was shot and killed in a home invasion, May 17th or 18th. His home had been broken into and car stolen numerous times. We begged him to move from that area. or get a dog or a gun. He has lived there since 1972, and didn't want to leave. Keep him and his family in your prayers. He will be greatly missed.
Robert was a member of the group that played the Prestatyn Weekender a few years back. He was also a member of the Magnetics, including the time when the Volumes used that name for a short period.
