Historic "Robinson's Ridge" has long been a Cannon County landmark. Raymond and wife Linda still make their home in Cannon County.

Raymond's long career as a custom shoemaker with Jarman and Murphy Shoe Company of Nashville has carried him to many places across the nation, including frequent trips to the White House. He even traveled abroad to custom fit shoes during the course of his 40-year career.
