"I stood untold hours on watch with Lt. Biesmeyer.  He loved to kid me about what my life might be like after the war, "Wayne Fowers Enterprises", he mused.  Ray was Advertising Manager for HOUSE & GARDEN magazine with offices in Chicago, a position he assumed following the war.  I visited him there (probably in 1947 or '48) and was invited to dinner at his home where I met his wife, Gen, who became well known and admired by all of us at reunions.  Robin, his daughter, was just a little girl."  --W. Fowers

He had two daughters, Robin and Ann.  Gen passed away in 1999.

 Ray died in 1985.
