Ray's introduction
I am sitting in math class at Krueger Junior High when i feel a tap on my shoulder. When I turn around a girl is passing me a note. I open it and it is a Garfield cartoon. In it Garfield says, "May I tell you how pretty you are?". I blush and turn around and ask where she got the note from? She points over to a boy with a big smile on his face. I smile back and turn around quickly since I was pretty shy. The bell rings and as we walk out in the hall he comes up to me and asks if I like Garfield? I say it's the one cartoon in the newspaper that pretty much makes me laugh everytime and he says, "good because that's the one I draw the best!" It doesn't take him long to figure out that humor is the way to my heart and I received plenty more of those cartoons for years to come. Oh yeah, and the nickname Pookie...lol
