When not kicking his heavy stone potter’s wheel into high gear and churning out one jug or mug after another, Michael “the Hairy Potter” Ray is forever throwing himself into one laborious task after another. We just can’t slow him down. The man has a positive addiction to heavy manual labor. At his advanced age, we remind him, he needs to begin pacing himself. But there’s no holding Michael Ray back. If there’s hard work to be had anywhere in the neighborhood, he’s right on it like a bear after grubs.So come on down to Pricketts Fort, folks, and see this paragon of the old frontier work ethic for yourself. But you’ll have to step lively to keep up with him as he hustles from chore to chore: he’s a regular blur.
