One of Ray's adventures
Among Ray's many adventures was a trip to California in the Tin Goose. TWA was having trips across the country. They still had 2 planes left from form years and they brought one into Kansas City and the fixed it with tape and stuff and were going to fly it west. Three reporters were due to fly. Ray boarded the plane and about 30 minutes later I got a call from the city editors that the plane had gone down in a field in Concordia, Kansas When they took off again the gasoline came pouring down the aisles. When they got to Denver the other two reporters left. On the other side the plane went down again but in a small airport this time. They made it to San Francisco. From there a new plane flew to Los Angeles where Ray was to be in a movie with Jane Fonda called "Sunday in New York". When the movie came out it was X rated but we got permission to take the five kids. It was x-rated because of one line Jane said. "Do you believe in sex before marriage?". Ray's part was his shadow riding an escalotor.
