My best friend, Shirley Mealey and Ray Hagley, were my friends in Huntington schools many years ago.
I later lived in CA and heard of the crash and phoned quickly..finally reaching a distraught lady who answered Dr. Hagley's office phone and told me they were both in the plane. I felt so helpless!
Shirley and I had often talked and written of getting our families together while they were all young.
My heart goes out to all the families and their tremendous losses.

I never knew Dr. Ray Hagley.
What impressed me was that when I drove a Jingle Bike[selling Ice Cream] for His Father in the summer of 1960..He and His wife asked to adopt me.
I sometimes wonder if they knew that my sister Linda Louise Fraley was the first cousin to Dr. Ray Hagley's wife.
I truly believe that Marshall,the community and the Loved ones of the Dr.and His wife were the real losers.
BTW:
Had I accepted their offer, I would have known the Doctor and His wife and I would still be re-united with my Half sister Linda.
Plus,I would have been historically Linked to a great family.
I will never forget this tragic occurrence and regret that anyone had to lose the life of a loved one.
