Knew him for 10+ years. Owned a Cessna 421B. He kept in perfect condition. Took me and my son to his ranch in Kerrville, so my son could shot his first deer. Loved his dogs. Great man.

‘72-’73 I worked on N27R, Ray Peters pilot. One weekend he wanted to fly it, but did not have copilot. I shut shop down and went with him. Not rated for DC3. He let me fly for 30 minutes. Great memories. Would have lost my job if boss gound out, was worth it. SELS 200 hours at time.
