Raymond Kohn was born in 1977 in Richmond, Virginia. The Dukes of Hazzard© first aired in January of 1979 and as a small child, it made a big impression on him. Ray was obsessed. His parents could not keep him from the television when it would air. As he would eat his dinner in front of the T.V., watching the Duke boys race around in their General Lee, during commercial breaks Ray would dream about the day when he would be old enough to have a General Lee of his own.

Even after all these years, some things never change!!!

As Ray got older he continued to watch The Dukes of Hazzard© up until the series ended in 1985.  As with any young adult, other interests took over and Ray had forgotten about The Dukes of Hazzard© altogether. In the mid-1990's a television station called The Nashville Network® (TNN) started airing old episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard© and it rekindled that same love affair with the General Lee he had had as a little boy.
