Mr Ray is my favorit Steward on the ship, he had a very interesting story in my opinion. He even lived until 1977 and turned 97 years old! He was the second last crew member to die.

Gotta keep history alive. It's amazing that I was alive during the time that a Titanic's passenger was alive. I feel it's my duty to make sure that the next generation knows this goes for all history. Our technology may end up passing Us by because it's electronic and it can be erased by a single solar flare. If you don't know the stories orally and traditionally then they die. All the lights must recompile history.

Titanic is such a legend and it was so long ago that we fail to realize that she was real and it really happened these interviews prove it

I don't think anyone thinks that. I think we all think it was so close & we can see her, touch, her, hear the passengers stories, see them on tape. The last one died in 2009. They saw 9/11. It's the ironic cruelty of Murphys Law. Anything that can go wrong. Will. Always prepare yourself. That's why we are attracted to it. Hubris. Saying your unsinkable when you're not.
