Corvallis Reflections is, at its heart, a celebration of a community and its people.  But Wray’s reflective lens looks forward also, and into the deepest realms of human nature.  His ever- present good humor masks a willingness to explore, satirize and when necessary confront, people, organizations and ideas he considers inimical to the best interests of his beloved Corvallis, Oregon. In the finest tradition of American newspaper columnists, no subject is too small or too large to attract Wray’s interest.  He is as engaged in a call to clean up a county road as he is in promoting Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act, as keen on a local boy making a splash on national television as he is in excoriating the Vice President of the United States.  Wray’s politics are suspect and uncertain.  By his own admission he used to know a lot more than he does now.  His perspective, while unique, is invariably entertaining and his focus tack sharp.   Corvallis Reflections will make you smile and think and appreciate your life, family and community a little bit more than ever before.  From 2005 to 2008, Pat Wray chronicled life in Oregon's mid-Willamette Valley in a twice-monthly column in the Corvallis Gazette-Times with wry humor, homespun wisdom and unabashed fondness for his adopted hometown. Pat celebrated what was best in our community and poked gentle fun at our foibles. Reading these columns again will make you  see Corvallis with fresh eyes.
