If you looked halfway between James Dean and Bobby Rydell in 1958 then love was always in the air.
This is after all the guy who headed the Bondi invasion of Newport and Avalon. The Hillbilly Hamlets.
Nobody was sexist in the 60's - that came with freedom of expression.
1961, bondi is invaded by the transvestite dancers from the kings cross nightclub, 'the all male review' - everybody hurts
Ray had no schedules; he would to wander in and out of building commitments as often as the weather changed and he was fearsomely unapologetic for missed appointments and delivery times
He was a troublesome jockey sized kid with an Irish pugnacity, an improper regard to discipline, a feral cunning and a consummate and admirable deftness in the surf. His agility, and ability to control the heavy boards of the time seemed effortless.
