Hi Scott, have you ever heard of Ray Gano...Prophezine? Anyways, I searched his name. If you’ve never heard of him, please disregard. If you have, look up Raymond Benton Gano. You’ll see a mug shot on Montgomery County Police Reporter. I don’t know what to make of it. I just thought it was interesting. Gary
The name is familiar but I'm unsure why (?)...I'll check it out, thanks
