Matchmaker
According to family lore, as told by both Uncle Ray's mother and older brother Jim, Ray displayed his accomplished skills as a matchmaker at a tender age by insisting that his Sunday School teacher the lovely Miss Maida McEarchron be invited to his 5th birthday party. As fate would have it, his older brother Jim was able to capitalize on his younger brother's infatuation of the lovely Miss Maida and pursue his own feelings and thus change the history of the Bothel and McEarchron families forever.
