Brent says: "Claudine says he's handsome. And while I do admit he has nice hazel-colored eyes and peculiarly bushy eyebrows, I don't think those are the main reasons we've been friends for so long. We met in high school whist playing for the tennis team and were later roommates in college for three years, during which time we had plenty of time to drink beer, play foosball and "study."

"I most admire Ray's sense of honor and friendship. If I ever need help, I know that he'll be there to assist. He is adventurous, intelligent and good at spotting opportunity. Even better, I think it's great that Ray's man enough to admit that he likes long walks in the rain, cuddling and TV episodes of "ChiPs" where Ponch takes his shirt off. OK, I might have made the last part up.

"Right now Ray is getting his masters degree(s) from the University of Denver and living in a grand old Fort Collins house with his girlfriend, Inger."
