George Downing Wray Jr.

I was George's stockbroker for 30 years. When I first called (cold) on George I was a hotshot 27 year old Wall Street broker who covered Shreveport for Oppenheimer & Co.

On Nov. 8th 1978 he opened an account with me. (I am looking at my notes now...it was for 200 shares of Carrier Corp). I loved talking to him. He was ALWAYS pleasant, but you could NEVER get anything by him because he had that danged Value Line subscription which he ACTUALLY READ and studied until he knew his...

I was impressed for the few years that I knew Mr. Wray, that in spite of his quiet affect towards me, he always knew of something current going on in my life rather than in his own. And I admired that quality of the gentleman in him.

Dear Jerry-
I understand how hard this is for you-When the thrill of life is gone, friends and loved ones guide our path into the sunlight again-My love and prayers-

I MET BOTH OF YOU WHEN I WAS GOING TO ST PAUL'S. I REMEMBER THAT WHEN I GOT HIT WITH A BASEBALL IN THE FACE ( YOU COULD COUNT THE STITCHES WHERE THE BALL WAS SEWN TOGETHER) HE CAME UPTO ME AND ASKED ME IF I DID NOT KNOW TO CATCH A BALL WITH A BASEBALL GLOVE. I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED TO BE DIFFERENT,HE SAID WELL YOU ARE WITH THE BASEBALL EMBLEM ON YOUR FACE. I LAUGHED AND SO DID HE. I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT STORY THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE VETERANS HOSPITAL WHEN I BROUGHT YOU THE ICE WATER. I...
