April is an "A" word
Every day someone passes that was widely known, that is famous, but not really a great person. Every day many others pass that were little known beyond a close circle, but they were really neat people. Those people should be acknowledged, and their lives celebrated. Such a person was Raymond Kane McLain.
I had never heard of him until about a week ago when I stumbled on his picture while searching Google for something totally unrelated. He had an interesting face, so I clicked on it. It turns out, he was an interesting man who led an interesting life, and left the world a better place for his having passed this way. That kind of person, and that kind of life, deserve mention.
I invite you to have a brief look at the life of Raymond Kane McLain, and find joy that there are people like him in this world. It’s a bit odd I suppose that the man had been dead for over three years before I even became aware that he existed, and now I pay homage to his life on my blog. April was the month of his birth. And that’s today’s post from beneath the Carolina moon.
