On January 16, 1975 Ray was sworn in as governor of Iowa for the fourth time. A popular politician, he had won the previous fall’s election with 58 percent of the vote. About four months later, on the other side of the world, nearly 130,000 South Vietnamese scrambled to get out of the country as South Vietnam fell.
For all of his governmental, political, business, educational, civic, and charitable work, Robert D. Ray in 2005 became the only governor or former governor to receive Iowa’s highest honor, the Iowa Award, presented by then Governor Vilsack and the Iowa Centennial Memorial Commission.
