Any ideas on this one?

[m bryan]

Found this at an old site I hunt often. Is L.W. Raley a company or an individual? The part thats hard to read says TU. 6-303.....not sure what it is. Ideas?

That's too bad.

Are we sure its the same guy? It probably is, because my source said he would be 81 years old now, and that matches.

I try to keep track of all that kinds of stuff - even in Florida, so I do have a somewhat "working" knowledge of what is going on in Florida - and, by the way - there's more coming down the pike there.

Sorry to say this - but, my motto is:

Compromise=lose

Thanks for working to preserve our hunting heritage.

The problem here may have been a little different. The land needed to be saved from rapid development or there would be no hunting, birdwatching or treehugging and we needed to act fast..

Now that the land is preserved, I feel we need to try and get along or we may end up losing what we fought for. We lost a huge tract to an endangered sparrow. We lost the use of hunting dogs. We lost off road vehicle use in some areas and others we must stay on designated trails. We lost large areas to the Florida Panther which has reproduced to the point of mauling cattle on private lands surrounding the preserve... And no metal detecting or collecting of anything. But with such a huge beautiful area, I dont see why we cant share it.

May I ask - who was doing the "rapid development" ??

Ahhh, sad he is passed away, but maybe you can return it to one of his family members. Breezie

Builders, developers. Florida has become one modern subdivision after another. Canals were dug to drain the swamp. Construction began on what was to be the largest jetport in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Impact_of_the_Big_Cypress_Swamp_Jetport
The jetport is still there smack dab in the middle of a gorgeous swamp. Thank god it was halted and the developers stopped. The need for water, environmentalists, hunters and land owners who enjoy the swamp joined together for a common cause and gave up their land to create the Big Cypress Preserve. Canals are now being filled in and road pavement dug up in an attempt to restore the region to its former glory.

A thought: The hard to read part may be a phone number from years ago. Now we have area codes and prefixes, back then we picked up the phone and told the operator what city and then the

number. One old phone number from the mid 1960's we used was W.M. 2-497 (the W.M. was called Wes More when you talked to the operator).

For instance, for a dog's identification tag this would read as follows:

The owner: L.W. Raley

The address: 1222 Turret

The phone number: T.U. 6-303

The city: Orange, Texas

I believe this one is solved, but the above may come in handy some other time.

Hope this helps!
