George_Bahto:
Joe worked for Seth Raynor for a while and when he (SR) buillt Metairie CC in New Orleans he left Joe in charge of construction. Joe went out on his own from there on and built many courses in New Orleans area - great story

I thinkthere is a statue of him in the city

sort of a protege but as far as I could tell did not strictly follow the  "famous hole" concept of Macdonald and Raynor

lots about him in the Raynor book

Jeff_Mingay:
Hi George.

When might we see the Raynor book?

George_Bahto:
Jeff - been pretty busy over the past three years. A lot of it is done but still a lot to do. And as yu can see, there is still a lot in flux .... itz like shifting sands sometimes.

I'll be sitting down with Gib at Bandon - Old Macodald - in a couple weeks and we'll see if we can get back on track.

Jerff, it is a really good story and must be told.

thanks for asking

Jeff_Mingay:
I know it, George; which is why I asked.

As I've told you in the past, your Macdonald book is stunningly excellent. Look forward to "Raynor".

Best,
