Ronald Gray:   Class tribute to Ronnie Gray:  Sadly, Ronnie died on October 16, 1961 in a car accident at the tender age of 21.  We were shocked by this great tragedy. Born July 13, 1940, the second son of Jennie and Clyde Gray, Ronnie was little brother to Richard, and became big brother to Robert, Royce "Jack", and Randy.  Ronnie was inclined to tease his brothers unmercifully, but protected them adamantly when he found it necessary.  As he became a young man he became know for his fun-loving ways.  Throughout his school years Ronnie was an athlete, starring in basketball, and an honor student, receiving the Woodland mill scholarship upon graduation.  He attended the University of Maine at Orono before working at the St. Croix Paper Company in Woodland, now Baileyville, as a lab technician.  He learned to cook and was good at it. That such a promising life could end so abruptly is more than any of us can understand.  We remember Ronnie with much fondness and will miss him when we get together for our 45th class reunion. Jack Gray (Class of '61) named his first son after Ronnie. -- Classmates, CMHS "58
