RIP Ed Ray

Although it's quite possible none of you have ever heard of him. I heard of the incident as it was happening, but I couldn't have named this man even then.

that's a little time capsule--

Residents were terrorized when the bus vanished, and their fears were fueled by other crimes in the state — the Charles Manson killings, the serial killing of 26 farmworkers, the Patty Hearst kidnapping and the Zodiac serial killer who remained at large.

The kidnappers, by the way, have never been paroled.

True heroism is doing what has to be done, no matter what. RIP Ed.

Looking at this tribute thread reminds me of a couple other recent threads in this board and makes me wonder if Mr.Ray marks the end of one of those celebrity triads?

Carol Shelby, Donna Summer, Ed Ray.
