RAY L. WARD

This is Ray L. Ward.  Although he wasn't a member of the Berry Family he was a part of it.  By that I mean that he spent a lot of years living with us.  During World War II we were living on our farm just south of Dove Creek.  Dad and Virgil were the only two running two different farms and the work load was too much for them.  So, Dad went to Dolores to hire some help.  He came home with Ray.  He was only about 15 or 16 at the time and he lived with us until 1955.  He was like a brother to me and the only brothers I spent more time with was Virgil and Bruce.  Having him as part  of the family really meant a lot to all of us.  And, being a good little brother, whenever he told me to do something or gave me advice I listened to him.  Many fond memories.  I feel he needs to be recognized as part of our family.
