J. Ray Turner and Trayco
In Florence, SC, there is quite a place
Where Down’s children go to face their concern
Ray Turner had an idea to embrace
Give them a motive like earn while they learn
Ray had a business by name of Trayco
Furnished many repair parts to plumbers
The building, next door easy to get to
A school filled, taught no letters or numbers
They learned to pack repair parts in boxes
Success, each celebrated with a scream
Each level ranked by questions...responses
Graduation came with a check and ice cream
Down’s syndrome children a very sad thing
They learned to be proud and dignity sings
