<p><center><b>A letter from Ann Twist</b></center></p> <p>Ray has been writing poetry for many years but started writing more in l998 after I retired and had time to type them up for him. It has been a hobby that we both have enjoyed and loved to share with our family and friends.</p> <p>I refer to Ray as my poem machine. He seldom misses a day writing at least one and many times as many as three. It's been such a joy to share them. For many years before he retired he would write just occasionally.</p> <p>When our grandchildren were small and would come to spend some time with us he would always leave a poem for them on the table when he left for work. They always enjoyed his little stories that rhymed. Our dream is to publish a children's book.</p> <p>We have enjoyed compiling and sharing them. My favorite are his spiritual but he has some wonderful western ones. Notice that he has some written including some cow-boys that he has named Randy Rusty Lefty and Slim. We do hope that you will enjoy the ones we have put together for you.</p> God Bless You and Your families.</br> Ann Twist (B. 1926 D 2011)</p>
