Born the same year Lindbergh flew solo, Ray’s been wrenching away since he was 16, and now may hold the world record for oldest mechanic. Beyond the garage, he’s served as justice of the peace, movie projectionist, and hospital board leader — even helping bring electricity to his town in 1932. He’s not into electric cars — “country life needs help close by,” he says. And it’s a four-generation family affair: his sons, grandsons, and even his great-grandson Frankie (17) all work the shop. “As long as I can walk,” Ray declares, “I’ll be here — even if it’s just to do Sudoku.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
