We used to drive up to visit them every year. After the Sylmar quake in Los Angeles in 1971 Ray and Louise moved back to Carmel Indiana. I used to sit for hours and listen to him tell stories. In 1977 I brought my cassette recorder back to Carmel and taped him telling family stories to my dad. I still have those tapes and have digitized them.
