INTERVIEWER: What is the one object that you own that is most important to you and why?

RAY: Hmm. OK. So two years ago, my uncle passed away. And we have a lot of cousins, and all of us wanted an heirloom from him. And before he passed away, he gave me a Zippo lighter, because he used to smoke a lot.

So he always had this lighter on him, and it had a unique design on it. And I really thought it was cool because kids like playing with things that cause fire. And he gave it to me before he passed away, and I still have it in my room. So that's how I remember him, and it was nice.
