Karen, This was such sad news to everyone in my family. We were thrilled when Ray made the effort to contact us this past year after our having moved away from each other and being out of contact for about 40 years. I have such fond memories of the entire Maize family as it existed in Mather in the 50s. My memories of Ray from that time are of a kind, gentle and fun loving person. Again, I am so glad that was I was able to speak to him again on a number of occasions this past year. I know I speak for my whole family in extending our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Everette Hill, Jr. (Buzz)
