Mentioned in Passing

• .Ray High School Letter on Mountain. This site seems to be about .Ray but the R is for .Ray High School, Kearny, AZ. The letter is across the .Gila River from .Kearny, Arizona; the date is probably 1979. The bridge is associated with the Crescent Ranch (.DuBois Ranch) just outside Kearny toward .Hayden. (My thanks to .Judy.)
