Hall of fame

[technical violation]

Just wanted to take a moment and recognize and congratulate one of my officiating mentors, Ray Marling on his induction to the wrestling hall of fame. He is truly one that has put in the time and sweat for many years and couldn't have happend to a better guy., or a better official, wv and ohio was lucky to have you for all the years thst we did. I can't thank ray enough, for all the help , guidance, and long talks he has had with me, and still does . I felt very alone when I first put on a whistle , and ray made me feel like one of the guys and wasn't afraid to take me under his wing, and mentor me and help my career out , for that I will always be more than truly gratefull.

Couldn't agree more about Ray. He did the time and went out of his way to care about the kids. Congratulations old friend! Well deserved!
