Ray and I shared many memories ranging from first grade into the 1960s. We hadn't seen each other much once he & Midge we married, except for a few days in Danville. Yet we always managed to stay in touch and, like good friends everywhere, we took up where we had left off. I can say many words about Ray and a few of them are: honest, reliable, a barrel of laughs wherever friends met to quaff a few brews and tell of each other's family's progress. One memory in particular: no bag of potatochips was safe at Ray's table. (Can any family members vouch for that?) One more thought: No Midge I did not sabotage the A/C at the Leilani! I am only one week younger than Ray so I assume that I too will be seeing him soon. I especially wish to run through lush fields of grass with him just to see the joy on his face when he does! We are BFF! His example is a wonderful one for younger members of his family. Mine, too!
