What a marvelous gift Ray has for expressing his thoughts. His love of family, nature, patriotism, are written with clarity and simplicity of expression, that is truly inspirational.

He writes with an appreciation of character, honor, hard work, and duty-the kind of virtues, to which we aspire, for our children and grandchildren.
