CJ and Debbie Ray

This past Friday morning, December 7, 2018, Debbie Ray said goodbye to after over 40 years of being an Acadiana broadcaster. The night before her big sendoff, a private surprise retirement party was held in her honor.

CJ left work after he exhausted his search, but I decided to do a little more snooping.

My good friend Debbie Ray is headed into semi-retirement.

One morning, I guess a little over a month ago, we ended the show at 10am and Debbie Ray asked me if I had a second. And I know it sounds weird, but I knew what she was going to say to me. She said, "I wanted you to be the first to know that I've decided to retire". And I said, "I always said when it was time, you'd know." And that was it.

Every morning, CJ and Debbie Ray share a 'Good Morning' photo. This video is a compilation of those pics from October 2018. This month, you will also see JayCee!

Will you get to keep the shorts and short-sleeves around a little longer or is it time to bring down the box of cold weather gear?

Is the American worker becoming more and more extinct? Is Amazon.com closing mom and pop businesses around the U.S.? Or should we blame robots and automation? The answer may be, all of the above.

To start the show every day, CJ and Debbie Ray in the Morning share a picture on social media, just to say, "We made it today, so can you!"

One interesting thing we learned this month is that JayCee likes to rip his shirt open like Superman.
