I 'loved' Ray. My parents, Richard & Betty Nolley, managed the county home & land that the Daviess Co. Airport was on. Ray taught me to fly shortly after the airport opened. -- he get tired of me 'telling' him where I wanted to go when we were showing one of my friends around town - from the sky. Ray and my dad were very close. I know it bothered him a lot when dad passed away in 1970. I haven't been home since 1970 but I know that everyone who knew Ray also lost a good friend. He was a very special person when I was a teenager. I wonder if he ever knew that my boyfrield & I would sometimes 'park' on the grass runway after the airport was closed - of course.
