What Happened?! - Stories of My Life

It was just his life - but what a life! From his boyhood on a dairy farm in upstate New York during this country's Great Depression Ray Lindsey went on to have many exciting adventures. College years were interrupted by military service in WWII. A degree from Cornell University led to a job on New York's Long Island. He married Barbara Dickerson and together they started his next chapter - his Necktie Years when they started a family and a poultry business together. Ray valued looking his best - and wore a shite shirt and tie everyday - even while collecting eggs in the chicken house! His abiding interest in antique cars lead to the purchase of a '14 Model T Ford and then several more very early cars over the years. This self-described chicken farmer traveled extensively with his wife and early used cars. He was a self-taught expert on steam-driven cars. Ray's stories are written in hopes that some of his experiences might be educational interesting and perhaps entertaining.
