Classmates might remember me as Raymond Slesinski, but I legally changed my name to Raymond (Ray) Anthony. I ran for Senior Class President and was in the College Prep Program. I went to CCNY and initially studied electrical engineering but switched to economics and got a BS and MA in that area. I sold computers and banking equipment for Burroughs Corporation on Wall Street, selling to banks and brokerages houses. I then got a job with Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) selling PDP11 and VAX 11/780 computer systems to banks in NYC. I was later promoted into their sales training group in beautiful Merrimack, New Hampshire to teach a number of skills programs. I left in 1989 to start my own training, consulting and coaching business in The Woodlands, TX. While I initially focused on developing and instructing my sales and presentation training courses, the last two decades I consulted and trained people in Fortune 500 companies, the CIA, NASA and USSOCOM on applied creativity, innovation and innovative leadership. Along the way, I wrote nine business books and over 100 articles on various strategic topics. I joined the Army National Guard and left as a Sargent in an Armored Cavalry Unit. I’m still working because to me, it’s play now! I so fondly remember my wonderful times at Tech and cherish the many fine friends I made there. May God bless all who have attended and will attend long into a bright future!
