Remembering Ray, rationing
Friday, November 16, 2001
First, I want to acknowledge the passing of Ray Search. My interest in local history came as a result of my father, Buss Booth and Ray. I'm sure I've mentioned before how amazing it was to hear Dad and Ray talking about the stores that occupied McCook's Main Street or Norris Avenue. Give them any date and they would start at the depot and go up and down the street ... not always agreeing. When they had a difference of opinion they would stop on that particular store until one convinced the other that they were right.
