Ray Theron was born into a somewhat nomadic lifestyle and later in his life spent time in a variety of places. He has lived on five continents, in some countries longer than others. All his life he has enjoyed experiencing new places, new people and all that comes with them. It is only now, late in his life, that he has come to put aspects of his early life into words, partly because he wants to share his memories with his peers, partly because he felt the exercise would allay that malady that strikes us as we get older: nostalgia.
