I have worked on the railroad along the Key and French rivers in northern Ontario. As much as Ray tells you how ruff and wild the land is, you have no idea untill you are here. Everyone should get the chance to see it and understand just why we love it so much.

Ray is modest, a gentleman - knowledgeable, not a braggart - some of the best English values, sadly no longer that popular - compared to muscular loudmouths who only appeal to the crudest taste - that is his attraction for some of us.
