Mae and Joe Gray started this tradition, o en bringing family and friends to share their love for Ravinia. I rst came to Ravinia as a boy in the ’40s, and loved it from the start. Ravinia is an undisputed cultural gem, with something for everyone. Over the years, Joyce and I brought that same love of Ravinia to our children, and now to our grandchildren.
