I will never forget seeing him with his dad, hall of fame boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in the1970s popular 7 Up commercial. As a kid, I remember saying, "look at that dude he has it made."

 It had nothing to do with who his dad was but more of the fact that he had a dad in his life. Being a black male growing up where I'm from almost none of my friends had their dad in their lives.

During our discussion, Ray discussed his amazing childhood where he had been in rooms where history was being made. Ray also talked about some of the many death threats that his family encountered. I loved learning about how his family went from being poor to one of the most powerful families in the world.
