It even has a sign that says it is not affiliated with any other pizza restaurant bearing "The same or similar name". But if you read all the newspaper articles framed on the wall there, you'll come across at least one in which the owner of that very Ray's says there's no Ray at his place, or anywhere else for that matter. He said he thought there may have been a "Ray" somewhere in Brooklyn once, but he wasn't too sure. Also, "Rei" means "King" in Italian, and the author of that article speculates that maybe that's what everyone was thinking when they named their place "Ray's". greg -- Greg Brail ------------------ Citibank -------------------- gjb@fig.citib.com lose (lOOz) v. 1. a.
