It was great seeing Ray singing with the band and swaping stories with everybody. The photo albums with all vintage black and white fish pictures really had me captivated. I will try and post some pics. Red Tide 08-04-2007, 10:11 PM Here is Ritchie with Joe Felicione. Joe and Ray were slaying partners in Tampa Bay before Ritchie was born. Check out the pic with Joe's finger bandaged or should I say where his finger used to be. A gentle Goliath Grouper tore it off:eek: Red Tide 08-04-2007, 10:15 PM Now we know why speedo warriors are the scurge of the diving society. Red Tide 08-04-2007, 10:19 PM Ray and his gang did not need stringers back in the day. They just needed a bigger boat.:toast: Red Tide 08-04-2007, 10:22 PM Couple more........

Skinydiver 08-06-2007, 02:20 AM Funny coincident, I just got on Ray's web site today for the first time and on the second page is Ray as most of you probably already know lugging a stringer of fish onto the boat. I had no idea the amount of respect the community has paid him (very deservingly) over the years. I now know why. :smnotworthy: Happy 80th Ray. Many more to come. Nice pics!!!!! Choke Fish 08-06-2007, 04:26 AM Ray Odor.... What a stud! :birthday: BayonetPoint 08-06-2007, 10:09 AM Happy Birthday Ray. I always love going to visit Ray and get his advice on different spearfishing related matters. He has a great no BS approach. - Cordes AristaKat 08-06-2007, 10:33 AM Hope to see you on Wednesday afternoon, age is all about how you feel and not your age & if this is the case Ray must be 21....:) orangespear 08-06-2007, 01:41 PM Happy birthday those are great pictures Divin' fool 08-07-2007, 01:47 PM Ray you da man!!!!:smnotworthy: Happy Birthday my friend!!
