MY COUSIN'S BIG DAY



FATHER BOB (ROBERT EARL) RAY
Celebrating 50 Years of Priesthood

Our grandmothers, on our fathers' side, were sisters. 
His  youngest brother and my youngest sister were (before her death) married to each other. 
We have three nephews in common. 
He was ordained a priest in 1969.
I was ordained a priest in 1970.
