Resting in peace, one of a kind, Dennis Wray. Thank you April & Jeff, making it possible for Dennis to come to the Crosley Nationals last month. He might have thought the trip was for him, but in fact it was for those of us who loved him. I am thankful for Dennis allowing me to be a part of his life, Gerald D.
