Howdy.
In the early 1960's, I met Dr Robert (A?) Ray, a veterinarian testing some cattle at the Ft Pierre auction. I was about 12 or 13 and helped hold the animal in the restraint pen, while the doc got blood samples. Anyway, I'm 73 now and cannot find ANY info on whatever happened to him. There's no obituary listing of him in Pierre. I guess he was about 30-35 years old at the time.
He and another younger vet had an office on Pierre St across from the national
bank, as I recall answering the phone while they were out, and going on several road trips with Dr Ray, to make ranch & farm calls.
Just wonderin' if anyone, maybe an old timer, remembers this Dr and whatever
happened to him. TIA
