Hello, Many of you may not be familiar with Raymond George Carpenter. He was instrumental in the Carpenter Family Association in the 1970s. For many of us older folks, he was very helpful. He provided a lot of good information and a bit of erroneous info too. Ray is now in his 90s and not doing to well. He recently lost his wife and if you get a chance, please mail him a card or two over the next few Holidays or just to say "Hello." I know he would appreciate it. His address is: Raymond George Carpenter Vineyard Inn 10929 Ridge Rd. Largo, FL 33778 Many Thanks to Fay & Jerry Ford of Louisville, KY for providing me with his updated address and that his wife died. http://www.legacy.com/SPTimes/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=96357838 Gurli L.
