Ray's Story
I remember the old times with the Bethany gang sitting in front of the College Inn, laughing, singing and most of all just being with good friends. We never caused any trouble and it was like a ritual that we hung out there. Then the old keg parties up on " College Barn Hill " again having time of our life. Then going to " Pizza Villa " to watch the fights and try to sneak a drink of beer. The thing was at Bethany was we tried to entertain ourselves and most of time we succeeded in doing so.
