I knew Ray at UCONN when Ray and I played on the varsity Baseball team. one day, after winning at Wesleyan University, in Middletown, CT, Ray and Walt Dropo were late boarding the bus on Middletown Main Street. I guess that they both had a glass of beer. When Ray arrived and boarded the bus, with J.O. Christain, the Head Baseball Coach, sitting in the front seat, Ray said, "You can always tell a gentleman by the shine on his shoes". Ray was always a friendly type talker with a wonderful physical body. He was well liked by many. Milton Porter, 63 Buttonwood Rd., Hebron, CT 06248. H: 860-228-3112
