Ray's Story
Hello fellow members of the class of 61. Ray Travis here and just letting folks know that after graduation and the summer, I joined the US Army and subsequently spent 9 years in military service, spending 2 tours in Germany with a tour in Vietnam in between. After leaving the military in Ft Gordon, GA in 1970, went to the University of Georgia, obtaining a degree in Civil Engineering and immediately went to work for Georgia -Pacific corporation for the next 36 years. After retiring in 2005, my wife, an Austrian, and I moved to Austria and have been here for the last 7 years. We have 3 children and 3 grand children. Was an avid runner for 32 years, having run several marathons and have now become a rabid bicyclist. Staying healthy and enjoying touring around Europe and basically enjoying retirement. Would enjoy hearing from anybody that still remembers me or just hearing about your last 50 years. Enjoy your day, Ray Travis

always wanted to be a Policeman when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a crazy idea. As it turns out, they were right. Taking a long 40 Mile ride on my bike, the exercise relieves any pressure. Was a Frank Shorter fan after he won the Olympic Marathon in 1972. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Linda McIlrath, because she was a good friend.. Play a lot of Fantasy games on PC, No pets and don't watch reality shows. My current age is 69. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be dead. I was so completely shocked. I'm in my career aspirations, Retirement Wore a suit to work for 25 years, but I am a conservative in dressing. I share my home with wife, which I find great. In 10 years, I hope to be still traveling. I'm going to get there by whenever I get there.. My first job was at US Army, where I got paid $78 to $600. What I remember most about it is it wasn't much!!.
