The picture below is my cousin Chuck Slaughter. Him and I were in music back in the 50's. He can still sing a little, but with part of a lung lost to cancer he does run short on breath now. I always liked his voice, and others do also. We did make some recordings back in 1959, and he recorded in Nashville after that, and I was staff Guitarist for Ranger Records in the 1960's and 70's. Chuck lives in Tennessee now.
In the picture above are two of Gawga's finest citizens, Dave and Alyce Ray. They are cousins of mine and I am proud to give them a place on this website. Dave got me started in the mad world of computers. I ran a computer some for GM the last few yrs. I worked for them, but Dave got me hooked on Genealogy and etc..David Ray is responsible for keeping track of the Ray family tree and all of it's connecting branches. Were it not for him, I doubt if the family tree would even be indexed at all.
Linda and I love to visit them in their home in the Blue Ridge Mts. of North Georgia. He and I have caught a trout or two and a bluegill or two, and I enjoy just sitting on the deck and looking at the world go by! Some good things to eat come from his garden and from Alyce's kitchen. They live in some of the most beautiful and scenic country in America!
Thank you Dave and Alyce for the difference you have made in my life!
In the picture above is the Lady who makes my world go around! She came into my life when I had to look up to see the bottom! We will be married 31 years next April. She shares the roll of grandparent with me, and it's a good place for her. Everyone loves her including me! This is Linda Suzanne Dumond Ray. She has helped me catch many many limits of Bluegills, and helped can food for winter. She does so many good things for me and others and she is talented in so many ways it would be a long list. Thank you so much Linda for the difference you have made in the lives of my family and myself. I love you dearly sweetheart!!

Of course we do. And they also have made a tremendous difference in our lives! Thanks ya'll ^_^
