Scars
I'm not sure who took this photo of Ray Robirds, but it really shows Ray's abdominal scars. I'm sure there's a story behind those scars, but I've never heard it.
RAY ROBIRDS had a Long Poker Stab wound on his lower RIGHT abdomen. RAY got that when he was in Marines and was horsing around. In photos of RAY you usually see the wound on the LEFT side of the photo. I have noticed that Bob Mizer seemed to try to avoid showing that wound on RAY by clever posing in most of his Photos. But it was definitely there and could be seen. RAY never mentioned it but he did tell Bob Mizer about it when he was asked. RAY talked about his life and his time in California. RAY ROBIRDS later said that he went to LA to be an actor, but didn't get far with that. After 3 years RAY gave up and drove his red convertible back EAST. He didn't mention his "physique" work at all and never said goodbye to the Photographers he worked with. The tone was a little on the religious side. He was not married when he was in LA and the info RAY gave never mentioned any family. RAY still seems to be a friendly likeable Man at age 76.

DeleteRobirds hat die einstellung eines militärs, vielleicht wurde er bei einem militär unfall verletzt.
