Sharon Ryer Davis (born 1954) is the wife of former California Governor Gray Davis. She is also a former Miss Santee and the author of the children's book, The Adventures of Capitol Kitty.
Sharon met Gray Davis in 1979 while he was Chief of Staff for then Governor Jerry Brown. She was not happy that her plane was being held up to wait for Davis. She scolded him when he arrived.
First Lady of California
As First Lady, Davis was active in children's health and education, especially literacy, creating the Governor's Book Fund, which provided funds for school libraries. She wrote a children's book titled The Adventures of Capitol Kitty to help pay for the fund. She eventually helped raise 750,000 dollars.
During the United States presidential election, 2000, her husband was rumored to be a potential vice presidential running mate for Al Gore, but Davis turned it down, eventually going to Joe Lieberman. Davis was also rumored to be a potential presidential candidate in 2004. She left the office of First Lady in November 2003, after her husband's recall.
Sharon Davis (born 1937) is a classical composer, pianist and music publisher. She is best known for her works Suite of Wildflowers, op. 1; Three Moods of Emily Dickinson; and Three Poems of William Blake. Her Though Men Call Us Free, written for soprano, clarinet and piano, draws upon words from Oscar Wilde's The Young King. In the 1970s she performed with the Los Angeles Brass Quintet, and Chamber Music Quarterly described her as a "fine musician". Davis is the widow of composer William Schmidt and now manages his music publishing company, Western International Music Inc., in Greeley, Colorado.
Sharon Davis was a Canadian ice dancer. She won a gold medal in the now discontinued Fours competition at the 1959 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, with Dean Akins, Clare Snowdy, and Larry Bennett.
"My heart is broken. We feel like we've been bamboozled in this."
"I do believe that more people are getting married and there are many more parents. As they become more independent, there are more opportunities to interact."
"It was tough that first year. He missed home, but he was with his friends and was so busy that he didn't have time to realize he was without Mom and Dad."
