Bray learned to read at the age of 89, read his first book and has not stopped reading since. He is a hero of the highest caliber. He is a member of the Greatest Generation, and his story is so fascinating, it seems to have come straight from a movie.
He has been featured twice on CBS television’s “Kindness 101: Self Improvement.” He currently travels to schools all over northeast Oklahoma to tell his story and encourage kids about the importance of literacy.
