I am searching for Lawrence Ray Hale, born in the 1930's in North Carolina to Walter Cummings Hale and Fronie Elva Whitley. He had a brother that I knew, Walter Edward Hale, who died in 1991. I believe there are sisters, but I have never met them. Ray Hale married my mother, Diana Jo Stephens, in Carlsbad, California about 1957. He was in the Marine Corps. They moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where I was born in 1958 and my little sister, Donna Jo, in 1959. Ray and Diana divorced about 1960-61 in Utah. Diana moved back to California with us, and I don't know where Ray went. He didn't have contact with us as I was growing up, and I heard from him briefly in 1982, but don't know where he was then, either. I have heard that he may be in North or South Carolina. He remarried, but I do not know to whom. My sister had contact with him a few years ago, but has lost track as well. He had been ill; it is possible that he is no longer alive. I have posted to a number of search sites and done area lookups for phone, etc. No trace in either state, as far as I can determine. If there is someone who might know another source to look at, I would appreciate it. I cannot afford to pay for a professional search. I would like to have the chance to connect with Ray if it is possible. Thank you for your interest. Lory Jean Whicker
