Ray "Speedy" Milam
After graduation from Col-Hi I enlisted in the U.S. Army for 3 years and was subsequently discharged (Honorable with merit). I was hired by Southwestern Bell, where I worked as a technician and later as a supervisor for 38 years. I worked for AT&T for 3 years as a contractor supervisor from Tulsa to Kansas City to St. Louis. During this time I was also a ROW supervisor on the El Paso, TX to Blythe, CA Project.

I was married in 1970 to my lovely wife, JoAnn, forever. She had a 3-year old eson by a previous marriage, Bill Sturm, and he graduated from OSU as a golf course superintendent. In 1972 my first child, Julie, was born. She is an OU graduate and she is working as a contractor in Seattle or Microsoft. In 1978 Heather was born and she is a graduate of both Ozark Christian College and Southwest Missouri State. She is currently teaching in Unionville, MO and is married to the pastor of the First Christian Church. My wife, JoAnn is the Children's Director at the First Christian Church in Miami where we live today.
