Caren,

I second Karen Kellogg's suggestion - you have a healthy rootstock that has survived your climate and soil - so make use of it and graft on a new topstock - easy to do, and you will be far ahead compared to getting a new tree.

I believe you could also let it grow and try using it as rootstock--graft a local peach scion on it...
