Tom,

Enclosed are some pictures of Ray, Les & Ray. Also a good one of Les Hafferkamp and an article Ray Gilliland wrote for a local newspaper. These items may be of some help to you.

Ray G. and Les H. both died after Ray H (1922-1994).

The typewritten info. was written by Ray H. and sent to Mr. and Mrs. Colaut. Also info from his Log Books.

The pages I wrote in 1995 you may or may not want to take excerpts from,

Sincerely,

Arla Jeanne
