My name is Ray Richey, and I live in Prince George, Virginia. I was born in Mesa, Arizona 5 Oct 1944 but I spent lots of growing up years in Alaska (1952 to 1961 Homer, Kodiak, Anchorage, and Willow). In 1952 when I was 7 years old we drove up the ALCAN (Alaska Canadian) highway. We left on 1 Sep 1952 and arrived in Homer, Alaska the end of Sep 1952. We drove up in a Model A Ford, and a 1939 Pontiac. It was a great adventure. Here is my Sister Scharlotte's journal. More about it here. (Click here for a link to: Homer, Alaska)

We lived in Homer for a few months before we moved to Kodiak on Kodiak Island the home of the famed Kodiak Bear. (Click here for a link to: Kodiak Island, Alaska - Official Visitors Guide ) We lived there for four years. We had many great adventures. During World War II there had been many buildings and coastal artillery emplacements built near where we lived. We had a great time exploring and discovering these old buildings and tunnels.

My cousin and some others took a Family History Trip to Ireland, here is the report. Richey Family History in Ireland 2007. New 27 Mar 08

Here are some pictures of Kodiak Airways where my Dad worked.

I went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in New England (March 1964-66).

I married Diane Marie Sheffer from Sparta, Wisconsin on 14 July 1967. We have 4 Daughters, 4 Son-in-laws, and 18 Grandchildren (but who's counting) see them all here.

I spent 20 years in the US Army and retired in 1988.
When I got out of the Army I started working for Synoptics Systems Corp, then Information Technology Solutions (ITS) in Petersburg, Virginia, then Computer Science Corporation (CSC), then Logistics Solutions Group (LSG). Presently I am retired. (I like to say RETARDED.)

My Hobbies and Interests are:
