Ray writes: Thanks for all your work on the blog. It brings back a lot of old memories. I left Baldwyn after graduating in 1953 and have never returned except for short visits since then. Not many relatives left there from the Mabry/McMillon family trees.
After leaving I first lived in Memphis and from there started a long journey. I lived in California 3 times, Alaska, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, South Carolina, Hawaii and Florida where I now live 3 times. I also lived in Japan 3 times and in Korea. During the last year I lived in Hawaii, I went to Hong Kong 2 times, Singapore 2 times, Manila 3 times and Japan. I have also traveled to Thailand, Guam and other places in the Pacific. No, I was not in the military. But, I did work for the Federal Government involved with the acquisition of real estate for US Government use including the military. I also work with the Japanese and Korean Governments making agreements for use of military facilities in those countries.
I still remember Baldwyn and sometimes visit my cousin Helen Cook, wife of Murray Cook.
Have a good day and thanks for all your historical work.
Ray McMillon.

If Luther Ray is online, maybe he can tell us what happened to his brother, whose name escapes me but he would have been in class of 1959. Also Jack Province who I know is related.
ReplyDeleteJack Province works in a northern state as an electrician, the last I heard.
