My name is Ray Richey, and I live in Prince George, Virginia. I was born in Mesa, Arizona 5 Oct 1944 but I spent lots of growing up years in Alaska (1952 to 1961 Homer, Kodiak, Anchorage, and Willow). In 1952 when I was 7 years old we drove up the ALCAN (Alaska Canadian) highway. We left John Day Oregon where we lived at the time, on 1 Sep 1952 and arrived in Homer, Alaska the end of Sep 1952. We drove up in a Model A Ford, and a 1939 Pontiac. It was a great adventure.

We lived in Homer for a few months before we moved to Kodiak on Kodiak Island the home of the famed Kodiak Bear. We lived there for four years. We had many great adventures. During World War II there had been many buildings and coastal artillery emplacements built near where we lived. We had a great time exploring and discovering these old buildings and tunnels.

I went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in New England (March 1964-66).

I married Diane Marie Sheffer from Sparta, Wisconsin on 14 July 1967. We have 4 Daughters, 4 Son-in-laws, and 20 Grandchildren (but who's counting).

I spent 20 years in the US Army and retired in 1988. When I got out of the Army I started working for Synoptics Systems Corp, then Information Technology Solutions (ITS) in Petersburg, Virginia, then Computer Science Corporation (CSC), then Logistics Solutions Group (LSG). Presently I am retired.
