Ray sometimes thinks of the good old days and he liked … “Hudson cars and the slower pace of life” in those days. He is very grateful  for modern technical advances which, “Kept me from having a stroke or heart attack last year.”

 

He is proud of …

 

“Four great children, and our grandchildren. Also I have driven over 5,000,000 miles safely and was a self employed truck driver with my own truck for several years.”

 

Ray’s message to his classmates is …

 

“Come to the reunion !!! That’s when I can be long winded.”

 

“Hope to see many of you there.”
