Raymond D. White — “Ray”

“Ray, known to some as ‘El Cid’ is normally a reserved calm soft-spoken person. At least most people get this impression. Once in a while, however, his true self comes to life, like during a friendly night of socializing at the club or the ‘Ghetto Lounge,’ or while he mercilessly tortures his poor helpless cat. This cat has been of great use to Ray throughout the entire program…

…All that can be said here is ‘Best of luck,’ to Ray, Olivia, and their offspring-to-be.”
