Just Another Good Guy

FFR Customer Ray McEdwards Makes Us Proud

I love telling folks about the amazing people in the FFR community and Ray is one of the best. The other day I received some checks made out to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, on behalf of my daughter Jenny from Ray and his wife Jodi.

Ray has been a dear friend of Factory Five for many years. I met him and his wife Jodi here at FFR about 8 years ago and we’ve stayed in touch ever since.

Ray is retired State Police and he built FFR 3291K. He has helped me and so many customers over the years that is impossible to keep track! A charity check in the mail out of the blue is just the latest from this guy who is such a great example of everything that is good about Americans.

Thanks Ray. See you in Huntington Beach!

Dave Smith
President

“Dave,

I am forwarding this check to you as a donation to Team Jenny. I’ve been selling parts that I no longer have need of or that I’ve pulled from salvage yards for a few years now, donating the funds raised to different charities. “Team Jenny” is now that charity. In addition to the check from Luis, please find a check for a matching amount as an additional donation from Jodi and I.

Hopefully I will be able to keep raising funds in the future and will continue to forward them to you.

Sincerely,

Ray McEdwards
FFR 3291k”
