    Raymond's life has come full circle.

    Birth:
    From the time Raymond was six years old till his death in 1949 he resided at the St. John's Asylum Orphanage and then St. Francis in Eddington, Pennsylvania.

    Died:
    I hope by finding Raymond and the reason he was sent to the orphanage that I have given him some sort of closure to a short and somewhat unhappy life.
