We still miss Ray and his brother Bud (Robert) for all they did to help our family in the early days on the ranch. We had a lot of good times. Scott and I enjoyed Bud when he helped with the caring for the Lodge that our folks bought soon after the end of WWII on HW108 which was close to the town of Long Barn.

Sad to see him go but Scott and I (Reid) have a lot of memories of him working for our Dad on the ranch. And we will not forget the fun we had with him at the family picnics in Clements and in the hills before that..
We will bring as many pictures as we can..
Reid and Sue
