Subject: RE: 2016 Obit: Ray Downes
I knew Ray back when we both were at NTTC in 1963 64. At the time he was my best friend. He invited me to his house in Cumberland where we hiked the hills, watched peregrine falcons dive and feed their young. We stole live salmon from a nuclear facility. Neighbours said it couldn?t be done. Ray?s mum said ?well done boys? She made us individual steak pies, the best meal I ever ate. His dad and brother were there also. I am so sorry I did not keep up. I now live in Western Canada in the summer and Southern California in the Winter. Green Hills, Blue skye, great northern ale. RIP Ray. Al? You can give this email to anybody who knew Ray back in the early days as long as they are not selling anything.
