Ray Plemmons, a longtime socialist
Raymond Plemmons, a former member of the Socialist Workers Party, died June 13 in Sacramento, California, of cancer. Ray was a longtime participant of the maritime union fraction in New York during the late 1940s and '50s. Because of his activities in the fraction and his ideas, he became a victim of the infamous witch hunt that also claimed a lot of victims in the maritime and elsewhere. In the early '60s Ray moved to California where he worked as a skilled steam fitter until he retired. Ray was born in Idaho in June 1924. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Hazel, and his nephew Raymond Garza.
