| Message | My brother Mark and I were both born in Ray; me in 1954 and him in 1953. Dr. John Edmunds delivered us in the small hospital there. My dad, James Alvin Lee, was hired as a "training director" by Abe Morris who was the general manager for the Ray mines division of Kennecott Copper. My dad first worked on what turned out to be a very effective safety plan for the Ray mine, and later worked to address pay and housing inequalities between the Mexican and Anglo employees, My parents lived lived in a "wingfoot" (a small portable house of about 400 square feet)and later moved into a larger factory-built home. I came upon this website and was glad to see that someone had put some information about Ray on a website! |

| Message | My parents, Ramon and Agripina (known as Pina) lived in Sonora and I was born there in 1939. I remember the milk lady (I don't remember her name) but she took me to the Dairy farm when I was about three. She used to bring me a toy or candy everytime she came to deliver milk. I remember when I left Sonora to move to Superior, she gave me a set of little furniture that I kept for years. I moved to Superior and stayed with my Grandmother but my family stayed in Sonora where my sisters and my brother went to school.They moved to Superior after about 2 or 3 years. I remember Kearny and I remember the river, called Kelvin (or Calvin). My father worked at the mine until he got a heart attack and later worked driving the Munoz van from Sonora to Superior. I was given a book on Sonora but in moving was lost and I would like to find another one. There was also a poem written about Sonora that I would like to find. |
