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 shown is probably 1999. But other pictures show that the date is kept current (Google maps has 20R07.). The bridge is associated with the Crescent Ranch (.DuBois Ranch) just outside Kearny toward .Hayden. (My thanks to .Judy.)
