Having met Ray and seeing all the pictures of his family and little girl, as well as bamboo fly rods hanging on the walls at his place of employment, there is no doubt in my mind he loves his family, child and fly fishing.
As far as Deanna's "Dad is a Dork" article -It really hit home, TV advertising has really thrown some nasty punches at fatherhood, in particular, Cingular ads. It's disgusting. They make fathers out to be mindless idiots with no clue about the world.
Very nice articles Ray and Deanna.
