One of the most interesting
story tellers we have ever known

county, but now of Moose, Wy

the few living great grandsons of
a Revolutionary war officer. (He
is a great grandson of Col. Jesse
Ray)
Having spent many years OF
travel in the west and with the
National Park service, John Ray
knows nature, birds, animals
flowers and trees and can give
q lot of worthwhile information
about them.
He was in the office last week
and after talking for a while
opened up a trusty pigskin satch.

dis SKIS of colored slides OF the
! Yellowstone National Park,
boulder Dam and other points OF
interest, which he showed on
miniature compact machne
Some of the photos for the slides
had been taken by Mr.. Ray IN
his travel in the park. ,
