Bray was one of the regulars, or semi-regulars, at the Cock 'n Bull on Sunset Blvd. (home of the Moscow Mule). This writer saw him there, one day, with a bandage around a finger-tip. Though he was a hunter and sportsman, and WWII combat Marine, he'd managed to shoot off the tip of one of his fingers with his shotgun. He was good-natured and self-deprecating about the accident.
