Yes sir. I had almost forgotten about it until Ronnie asked me about him. I only have one question Ken, my friend, what was his actual facial expression when you said your first words to him, revealing yourself as the Korean Cowboy?!?!? He was probably expecting me to sound like Takahiro Omori. He was actually very gracious. If he was surprised he never showed it.

Holy cow! Flash back! I met him at that same show. My son was 7 and I got a picture of Ray and my son standing in front of a Triton. Ray was a very nice guy and talked to my boy for about 5 minutes.
Cool story. It was a Flashback for sure! I probably met you there.

Was fortunate to meet Ray on the Big Island El Novillo He was taking groups bass fishing there. My Father was flying people in there to bass fish on the Island.

In 1987 I went to work for Humminbird and Mann Lures. Mr Scott was in Eufala a lot with one of his best friends Tom Mann. He would drop by our sales meetings and visit with us. Very nice gentleman. I got to hang with several of the old greats back then at shows and tournaments I had to work the tents. Hank Parker was always around, Jimmy Houston and his wife. Still stay in touch with them through hunting. Really great people. Sent you a PM.
