Bob Totty worked and supported his family of six children while his wife, Mollie, stayed home to care for the children. They lived in rural Alabama and kept chickens, a hog or two, and a milk cow. Ray was the only boy and was next to the youngest. He attended Concord Elementary and Hueytown High School, graduating in 1950. He attended Auburn and Alabama, earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Ray and Mary Emogene Weems fell in love and married before Ray finished college. Ray was drafted into the US Army before the birth of two wonderful and successful children. Ray’s career as a professional engineer carried the family to many different places while the children were growing up. The family finally settled down in south Louisiana and fell in love with the Cajun folks. Ray worked from the time he was a young redneck kid until he was seventy. In early life, he did spend time working in various fields with hoe in hand.view less
