Kaywood Raymond Harris Roberts
KEYWOOD RAYMOND HARRIS ROBERTS, OR RAY AS HE IS MOST COMMONLY KNOWN, WAS BORN IN 1935. AS A CHILD HE ENJOYED GETTING THE STAVES OF OLD BARRELS, SANDING THEM DOWN, STRAPPING THEM ONTO HIS FEET AND USING THEM AS SKIS. HE ALSO ENJOYED RIDING ON KOMATIC WITH HIS FRIENDS. THEY WOULD RIDE DOWN THE HILLS BEHIND HIS HOUSE AND END UP HALF WAY ACROSS THE BAY. HE SAID THE ONLY TROUBLE WITH RIDING SO FAR WAS THE WALKING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AGAIN.
IN HIS SIXTY-FIVE YEARS RAY HAS HELPED HIS WIFE FLORENCE IN RAISING TWELVE CHILDREN WHICH HE LOVED. HOWEVER NOW RAY'S FAVORITE PASTIME ISN'T SKIING ON BARREL STAVES OR RIDING HALF WAY ACROSS THE BAY ON KOMATIC IT'S WATCHING MOVIES AND TRAPPING RABBITS.
