Raymond's Story

Well, as I remember I scored so low on my SAT tests that I was considered to stupid to go to collage (which was fine with my aunt as we couldn't afford to send me to collage anyway). So I went into the Air Force. Landed in Orlando Florida as a Para-medic (don't ask ) kept up my acting in community theater in Orlando and was spotted by a scout from the Pasadena Playhouse in California and got a full scholarship to attend the school. Went to the playhouse and then got spotted their by a talent agent who got me a contract at 20th Century Fox as a contract player. Six months into the contract 20th went chapter 11 and sold my contract to Universal Studios who kept me for another six months and canceled my agreement. However I had made friends with a number of the producers on the lot and ultimately worked my way up to being the staff assistant to the head of production at the studio. did that for about two years and missed the theater and became the head of production for the Greek Theater and Huntington Hartford theater at Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood. Learned how to produce shows and concerts and did that for awhile. One of my friends was Ron Miller who ...Expand for more
was head of production at Disney Studios at the time and married to Walt Disney daughter Diane. He talked me into coming back to Orlando to work with Bob Yani head of entertainment for the attractions division of the studio to mount the dedication of Walt Disney World. After the opening I was given the job of creating the shows inside the park and hotels. Did that then left Disney 1970 to start my own business with a card table a rental generator in an abandoned warehouse creating shows for the growing convention market. Built the business up to doing about $60,000,000.00 a year and sold it to a division of World Travel in 1989. Bought into World Travel and sold my equity in that in 96. Retired for awhile and roamed around the world a bit. Got bored with that and went back to work as a conference producer, but not before buying a 400 year old cottage in Devon England, and 63 foot sailboat we moor in Malljorca. We know live 6 months in England a 6 months in Orlando. I have been married twice and have a 38 year son from my first marriage and I have been married to my second wife now for 35 years. That's all folks, my life in a couple of paragraphs..
