Published 11 years, 10 months ago
Description
Our belated Memorial Day episode. We talk to my hometown hero, a guy from the Pico Gardens/Pico Aliso projects where I grew up. Ray lost so much as a young Marine in Vietnam that he had every right to give up hope. One day on the little league field changed all that.
