ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ray Summers is a classic. He was our Charles Kuralt. He had such a distinctive writing style and voice-- Oh, that voice. There's a small enough difference in our age that I was able to admire his work when I was in high school. When I was in college and produced stories I tried to write and sound like Ray. Eventually I found my own voice, but if I ever became good at story writing it was because I paid attention to mentors like Kuralt, Jon Tuttle, and--Ray Summers at large.
