Autographs

Ray would not allow any of us to ask for autographs when we were with him. Before I was married I had attended a premiere in Lawrence, Ks, for a movie and my mother was with me and did not have that rule. I was able to get John Wayne's, Roy Rogers, Walter Pidgeon, Gabby Haye's autograph. Later I attended a political meeting in Kansas City, Kansas, and Shirley Temple Black was there and they handed out her autograph as you left. I met her a couple of times in Washington, D.C. but never asked for it again. I think I have Walt Disney's on a photograph but I'm not sure and President Eisenhower on a picture he gave Ray. Sometimes when Ray covered a story The Star gave him a picture that was signed. I think The "Cisco Kid" is signed. I believe Richard Nixon in a picture with Ray is signed.
