Ray was a dear friend I met at IBM, who started me off in the film and television business. He taughted me to be on location before anyone else, to do what I said I would do, and not to spend more than I had. These are simple but lasting truths for all of life. Saw Ray last at Paul Southerland's memorial and am pained I couldn't attend his. My condolences to Ray's family. Peter Bikaunieks
