Hi again April:

And again thank you for the info. The Gray's made quite a contribution to Arkansas, and their son Carl, to the nation!

We are preparing a little bio for Rogers Historical Museum files, who surprisngly had nothing on Carl Raymond GRAY, s/o Oliver & Virginia, who at 17 was the Rogers, AR Frisco Railroad agent only a couple years following the railrods 1881 arrival in town. Later becoming Frisco's senior vice-president before leaving for another railroad, ending as president of Union Pacific 1920-1937and advisor to two presidents during WWI & WWII.

Carl's wife Harriette Flora, was our maternal grandfathers sister, but they were more like family than anything else.

Thank you so very much,
Bill Boggess
