Long Nights - A Warrior’s Path to the Queens Heart

We headed over to St. Pete for a rapier focused SCA event. It was a rare cold day in Florida but it was perfect weather for fighting all day.

Uncle Ray

My uncle Ray passed away in August of 2024. After his service my mother brought out some old family photographs. These are some of my favorites from his life. 


My uncle Ray as a baby in 1945.

Ray with my mother. She would become his primary caregiver towards the end of his life.


A photo of Ray from his high school year book. He would be an avid golfer for the rest of his life. He drew the hat and beard on himself.
