Ray Acheson Remembrances – The Ladies Man

Tom Snow – Ray’s kindness and charm was apparently obvious to members of the fairer sex. After the first leg of a PMC ride, at Mass Maritime, two community showers are temporarily provided for the riders – one for men and one for women. On a particularly hot day, Ray had found himself at the end of the men’s line. He entered the shower tent and had the place all to himself. Out of the blue, an attractive young lady, covered with only a towel, interrupts Ray, while he was showering, with a question “Do you mind if I join you?” She explained that the line for the women’s shower was too long. Ray, being a gentleman, politely accommodated her request.
