Ray was on the COSL ORI team in the 70/71 timeframe along with Werner Miller, Ed Haney and Sig Pawley.
They came to Ramey for an ORI and we had a great time. Good guy. It'd be nice if he would answer up and let all know his whereabouts.
I remember Ray, but so much has cluttered my brain over the years, just can't recall where or when. I believe we were stationed together, briefly and may have been in Lewes (Jan 71 - June 72 time frame.
He was always easy to talk with and true professional. Would be nice to hear from him.
Hey Randy,
Yeah, it has been quite some time since I have been on the site. Just a lot going on, staying busy, traveling, etc. Had major back surgery on 9/28 for chronic back pain since 1959, months after I joined up. Finally caught up with me after hundreds of chiropractic adjustments, hospitalization, etc. doing real well. No pain as yet, going for my post op visit on 10/11. Just not BLT (bending, lifting or twisting) for awhile.
Now, regarding the search for Ray Skinner: I contacted Dick Moran and he suggested trying a search using Veteran Buddy Finder. I have and came up with several Ray Skinner's. If anyone would know of his wife's name, age, or previous addresses - it would narrow, and perhaps, find Ray. Hoping someone has input to facilitate this effort.
I remember Ray Skinner at COSL when I was stationed there (SEP 70 - DEC 72.) I think he worked days in the analysis office with Ed Haney and Chief Werner Miller.
