“When it’s all said and done, I want my epitaph to read that I gave far more than what I got.”
A man with a vision.
A man with a dream.
Meet Tray: the educated Tray, the happy Tray, the humble Tray.
The Tray that has more to give society than society has given to him.
Rodrick “Rock” Cooper, Tray’s childhood friend
“Tray is someone that anyone would love to meet. He has an ability to connect with people that’s magnetic. He has charisma, and that’s rare.”
Dr. Marc M. Howard, Georgetown University Professor of Government and Law, who taught Tray at the Jessup Correctional Institution.
