I Jim Cornwall didn't know Ray Greenwood from Joe Doaks when he first ran for mayor in 1957. His previous political experience had been prior to our coming to Utah. In that day, we had a good deal of respect for Cliff Hansen, the former mayor. He lacked tact and diplomacy, we knew. But he was honest and conscientious. When he lost to Mr. Greenwood, we felt the city had discarded a good man. Many Murrayites stood on opposite sides of the political fence last November when Bill Dunn challenged Ray Greenwood for the post of Mayor.
