Ray Walsh by Alison Davis Wood
Ray Walsh was a man who really loved tractors almost as much as his wife and 10 Children. It was a pleasure to meet Ray and hear him talk about the pieces of farming history that he was preserving. He had every right to be proud of his handiwork.
After a Prairie Fire story airs you rarely hear back from the subject and sometimes you never know what they thought of the final product. So it was truly touching to hear the response from Ray’s family that this story had meant so much to them. They told me that it was a great tribute to their father and to their brother Mike. Sadly both have passed away since this story originally aired. The Walsh family says they still watch this tape at family gatherings. And I couldn’t be more honored.
